Base10 is having lunch at his local diner. He ordered a reuben. To those who may be reading this who are not in NYC, a reuben is a delicious sandwich made of rye bread, corned beef, sauerkraut and melted swiss. When the waitress brought it out however it was too big to eat as a sandwich. What's the point?

I don't want to complain about this diner in particular. It is very reasonably priced, the food is good and the service is spot-on. I've noticed many diners do this. You order a specialty sandwich and they serve it open-face style. It's a sandwich, people. It's bread with some meat and maybe cheese. You're supposed to pick it up with your hands. Purists should note that Katz's Deli, which probably has the best reuben in the city, serves theirs as a sandwich.

Alright, that's not much of a rant, but there it is.
