Reuben

Leah's eldest son

Reuben is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, borne by one of Jacob's twelve sons in the Bible.

It's also a hot sandwich made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on rye bread, typically grilled: I'll have the Reuben with a side of coleslaw.
