re: I Just Love Cubans (Photos)

Looks good, MD. I love my Cubano from Churro's here in Metairie.

When I make mine, I like to use roasted pork loin and I mix the mustard and butter together. I like the way that works out. No bread and butter pickles for me - EVER.

I did a lot if business in Tampa in the past. Always thought Tampa had a good range of interesting places to eat. Has it changed a lot in the past ten years?

What kind of pickles do you get?

Gotta be dills, kosher if possible.

try also the Ropa Vieja Sandwich, or if in Miami, find a MEDIA NOCHE..I like it even better

LINK use the links at the top of the page


BTW the original Cuban sandwich did not have mustard or mayo...though it is served that way today in many restaurants...with ONE or the OTHER The pickle used to be dill..some are doing bread/butter.

The moisture comes from the pickle and the melting with the press..and YES, the BREAD is the key ingredient as well.
As I said, try the MEDIA NOCHE, different bread, same contents.

I put salami on mine. Best sandwich I ever had was a Cuban, sitting on Hulk Hogan's barstool, in Tampa.
