Sandwich of the Day: City Pork Cubanos

 

These Cubans were so beautiful and expensive that they deserved their own post. Boy were they good. Best money I've ever spent. I got those on a stormy day last month with no food in the house. I was so happy the next day when I had the second one. City Pork is right by my house. Tom Hanks was spotted in there when he was in town. Second link below. Known for their high class pork products. It's a good Cuban.

Sandwich of the Day: The Cuban

 

The Reuben and The Cuban were the first two sandwiches I did in the Kinja summer sandwich series. I eventually ate an authentic Cuban a couple of times. Good sandwich. Still no Reuben, but I know where to get one. Tom Hanks was spotted at the place mentioned below when he was in town.

I finally had a Cuban but it wasn’t totally authentic because it used BBQ pork. Still good. Traditionally with ham, Swiss cheese, roast pork, pickles, and mustard. In Tampa they add salami. It is then pressed which is key, along with having the good bread.

Key to all good sandwiches.

I’m okay with the Cuban, but in general I still don’t like the way a pickle will assert itself and dominate everything else as soon as you bite into it. “Oh! Pickle there...”
