Go to State Side Deli. Before you whine about the prices, look at what you get for it. That isn\u2019t a goddamned sandwich, it is the goddamned Battle of the Bulge in a box.<\/p>\n<p>I love me a ruben (and friends) sandwich. This is probably my second favorite ruben-class sandwich I\u2019ve had in the Lansing area (the first is the Super Reuben at The Irish Pub\u2026but I was drunk when I had it, so my judgment may be a bit off). Anyway, the State Side Deli doesn\u2019t shit around. You get PLENTY of their delicious corned beef all up in your sandwich.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"Lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_1037.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-579    aligncenter\" title=\"IMG_1037\" src=\"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_1037-150x112.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_1037-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_1037-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/IMG_1037.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There isn\u2019t really anything wrong with the sandwich, which in turn makes it a great sandwich since it is so hard to find a really good sandwich in a restaurant. I had plenty of sauce, slaw, etc with none of them over abundant. And if I did need anything else, everyone I\u2019ve dealt with there was pretty friendly, so I\u2019m sure I could have gotten it. You can check out their delicious menu <a href=\"http:\/\/menu.statesidedeli.com\/\" target=\"new\">online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, after I ate this sandwich I was pleasantly surprised to find a pickle wedge hiding underneath like I wouldn\u2019t find it. Pickle, you can\u2019t hide from me. I love pickles. And since the sandwich took up the whole box, I really didn\u2019t know it was there until I finished. I propose we start saying the phrase \u201cLike finding a pickle underneath a good sandwich\u201d instead of \u201cLike finding money in an old coat\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I had a slice of the something-layered cake. Forgot the number. It was given to me free of charge in hopes of a good review. While I am appreciative, and can usually be bought, there was no need sir. No need. Mmmmm, free cake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stateside Deli 3552 Meridian Crossings Drive Okemos, MI 48864-6916 (517) 853-1100 Food [rating:4.5] &#8211; I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[129,7,128,23,4,26,163,174,175],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-americana","category-beef","category-deli","category-delicious","category-dining-out","category-enjoyable","category-foodquality","category-michigan-restaurants","category-okemos-michigan-restaurants-restaurants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=436"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":650,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436\/revisions\/650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halfton.withbloodandthunder.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
