ZEPPELINS IS IN THE REUBEN OFF!

We’re competing with 7 other local restaurants to find out who makes the best Reuben in town.

Here’s how it works:
🎟️ Grab a free punch card at any participating locations
🥪 Visit all 8 restaurants and try their Reuben to collect a punch at each stop
🗳️ Once you have all 8 punches, vote for your favorite Reuben on the back of your card and turn it in at your final stop

❤️ If Zeppelins takes the win, we’ll donate $1 from every Reuben sold during the competition to The ARC of Eastern Iowa! We’re also accepting additional donations to add to our contribution.

Grab your friends, eat your way through the competition, support local restaurants, and help us bring home the win!!!!!
