Meet The Reubenator

Eric Burke

Eric Burke lives in Rhinelander, Wisconsin with his wife Alison, and together they serve as educators in the School District of Rhinelander.

But after hours, Eric transforms into The Reubenator—America’s most dedicated Reuben sandwich critic.

With a passion for authentic deli craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to the perfect corned beef–to–sauerkraut ratio, Eric travels the country documenting the nation’s finest (and not-so-finest) Reuben sandwiches through professional video reviews.
