  Recently, my husband and I visited Franmouth, Michigan.  
  While staying at the Bavarian Inn Lodge, we ate in the 
  restaurant in the hotel.  He ordered reuben eggrolls as 
  an appetizer and fell in love with them. I have searched 
  everywhere and can't find a recipe to make them.  
  Please help me if you can.

Hi Deborah,

I could not find a recipe for reuben eggrolls. I would expect to see one soon, as they are becoming very popular. However, I did find the below recipe for "Reuben Bites", which should be very similar to a small Reuben eggroll.

  Reuben Bites 

  Yield 15

  Ingredients:
  1 10"xl5" sheet of puff pastry
  4oz corned beef (coarsely chopped)
  4oz sauerkraut (drained)
  4oz Swiss cheese (grated)
  thousand island dressing

  Method:
  Pre-heat oven to 400°. Mix corned beef, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese 
  together in a small bowl. Cut puff pastry sheet into 3" squares. 
  Place a dollop of mixture into the centers of the 3"x 3" squares. 
  Draw the four comers together and seal by pressing together. Place 
  pastries on a non-stick baking sheet and bake until golden brown 
  (approx. 10-15min). Serve with Thousand Island dressing as a dipping 
  sauce.

Hello Dave,

I didn't have much luck. The one on beef.allrecipes is everywhere, and it claims to be like what Detoit restaurants serve. I'll take your word that it's not right. I did find another one, but it's very similar to that one. it's below. The only thing I could flind on "Flavor Glow" (Nothing at all on "Flavor Glo"), was that there's a gravy mix with that name.There is a source for it here:

Hi Susan,

I couldn't locate a recipe for babka from the Second Avenue Deli, but there are several chocolate babka recipes online. The below one seems particularly good.

Phaed

Chocolate Babka

1 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup lukewarm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1 package dry yeast
6 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, divided

Put milk in a small pan and heat to just before boiling. 
(Milk will have bubbles around the edge and will just be 
starting to froth.) Remove from heat. Add butter and stir 
until melted. Cool. (Can refrigerate for 10 minutes.)
Put lukewarm water in a large bowl and sprinkle with yeast. 
Stir in 1 tablespoon sugar and let stand. When milk has 
cooled to wrist temperature, add to yeast with the remaining 
sugar and salt. Add 5 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, beating 
with a wooden spoon and switching to your hands when dough
gets too stiff to stir. Turn dough out on a floured surface. 
Knead for 5 to 10 minutes, working in some of the remaining 
flour if needed. Put in a greased bowl, turning to coat top. 
Cover and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled.
Grease a tube or Bundt pan. Put chocolate chips in a food 
processor or blender and grind to coarse meal. Combine with 
unsweetened cocoa. Put 1/3 cup of the mixture in the pan, 
tapping to distribute. Sprinkle pan with 1/4 cup chopped nuts. 
Combine remaining nuts with remaining chocolate mixture and 
set aside. Punch down dough. Turn out on floured surface 
again and knead 5 to 10 minutes. Using your hands, press and 
pull dough out into an oval, about 9 by 16 inches. Sprinkle 
remaining chocolate filling over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch 
rim. Roll up, pinching edges to seal. Lift carefully and ease 
into prepared pan, wrapping it around the post in the middle. 
Pat down to fit firmly into pan and seal ends together, brushing 
with a little water if necessary. Cover and let rise 45 minutes. 
Or seal in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. (It will 
rise in the refrigerator.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 
45 to 50 minutes, until babka sounds hollow when tapped. Invert 
on a cake plate and let cool 30 minutes before serving.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.

It was a cookie batter that was spread out in a pan and cooked
