If this sandwich is wrong, we don't ever want to be right.

Take a moment from the disaster you call your life and focus on the decadent creation of Nick Chapman, aka Food Dude. His twisted mind dreamt up the idea that you could take a Reuben sandwich, deep fry it in PBR beer batter and call it the Pabst Blue Reuben. The result is a delicious mouthgasm of tender corn beef, melty cheese, crunchy sauerkraut and creamy dressing, all tucked away within the confines of buttered toast then deep fried in every hipster’s favorite cheap beer. And with that we say fuck the bikini bod or any attempt to get in shape and indulge in the best that life has to offer.

 

@foodbeast emailed me a few weeks back asking if I had any crazy food ideas I could make using @pabstblueribbon beer. I was sitting around drinking at the time and replied "What if I took an entire Reuben sandwich, dipped it in Pabst beer batter and deep fried it? It could be called the Pabst Blue Reuben!" Well, they dug the idea and apparently so did Pabst so I got the go ahead to make it and here it is – The Pabst Blue Reuben! #Foodbeast #DudeFoods
