The Cuban Sandwich That Reigns Supreme in Miami | Legendary Eats

With the largest Cuban American populations in the country, it's no surprise the Cuban sandwich reigns supreme in South Florida. The ham, cheese, and roast pork combo is not to be missed during a visit to the Sunshine State. Sanguich de Miami makes the legendary Cuban sandwich almost entirely in-house, which isn't the case at every Cuban restaurant. From the seven days its cooks spend brining ham, to the pickles they make in-house, to the Cuban bread specially made by a local bakery, every ingredient in this sandwich is intentionally prepared and cared for.

Correction The Cuban sándwich is not of Miami origins. The Cuban Sándwich has been around long before the 1959 cuban revolution brought throngs of exiles to Florida. The Cuban Sándwich comes from Tampa and goes back 100 years as immigrant Cubans came to Tampa to work in its Cigar industry in Ybor City. The Segunda Central Bakery with its 105 year history and a still a staple in Ybor today can boast that historic claim. So all due respects Miami but its a Tampeño Sandwich.

True fact: the Cuban Sandwich originated in the cultural district of Ybor City in Tampa, Florida. It follows the basic structure: roasted pulled pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, mustard and dill pickles. In some stores or restaurants, they also add Genoa salami to honor the Italian immigrants that also settled in the area. The Bread is important, but it has to be baked a certain way, with the use of a palm leaf to give it the signature crevasse in the top crust. Certain bakeries in Tampa -- chiefly La Segunda and Alessi's -- carry this tradition to give our local Cuban Sandwiches their distinct look. I don't doubt that folks believe they're getting authentic Cubans in Miami, but if you want to get the ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC sandwich, you can find them in Ybor and many other places here in Tampa.

[@richardsmith4187]

Yor are correct, Tampa originated the Cuban sandwich and living in Tampa I get to enjoy them often !

The Cuban sandwich made in Miami is different from the Cuban made in Tampa. In Tampa we have the "real" Cuban bread and not what looks like a standard "hoagie" roll we also use salami, pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard which is then pressed. La Segunda Bakery in Ybor City ( Tampa ) has been baking Cuban Bread for 110 years and the Cuban sandwich started around 1920 to feed the workers in the cigar factories in Ybor city. The Miami Cuban sandwich did look good, but for sure if you ever taste Tampa Cuban bread you will know the difference. *** And the debate goes on - who makes a better Cuban sandwich *** Tampa or Miami LOL

A Cuban sandwich (Spanish: Sándwich cubano es) is a variation of a ham and cheese sandwich that likely originated in cafes catering to Cuban workers in Tampa[1][2] or Key West,[3] two early Cuban immigrant communities in Florida centered on the cigar industry. Later on, Cuban exiles and expatriates brought it to Miami,[2] where it is also very popular. The sandwich is made with ham, (mojo) roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread.[1][4][5][6][7] Salami is included in Tampa, where there is a large Italian population, but is not usually included in South Florida.[8][9][10]

This is an example of what America does and why America is great. The mixture of cultures is definitely one of our strengths. Assimilation doesn't mean you completely reject your heritage or allow someone to make you ashamed for being from somewhere. Assimilation means pulling together for the common good - not tearing down history and breathing hatred toward people who are not like yourself. Assimilation means JOINING the civilization and not replacing it with some idealized nonsense that has never worked anywhere else in the whole world.

[@manitheman0806]

Around the same time - about 1896 - a Sicilian named Francisco Ferlita created a new bread at his Ybor City Joven Bakery. It was a little like a French baguette, about three feet long with a hard, crispy crust and a soft, airy inside. The top was scored with a palmetto leaf to create a canyon down the middle of the loaf. It was square on the ends and usually shortened with lard. He called it Cuban bread. Though no hard proof exists, anecdotally the mixto became popular on Cuban bread. Thus the modern Cuban sandwich was born. The preparation is simple, but specific: Cut the bread in half, then layer ham, mojo-garlic marinated roast pork, and salami, in that specific order. Then add swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard spread on top. Lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and whether or not to press the sandwich are still topics of heated debate.

Wayne, I too had the Cuban sandwich in Gitmo. (1982-1983) They were incredible as I recall. Haven't had one in 40 years. This Easter weekend I'm going to try my hand at recreating that sandwich. Will be making my own Cuban bread also.

[@ButcherBird-FW190D]

Man. Those look outstanding. Seriously outstanding. The carne asada sandwiches in my area (SW USA) are outstanding. Couple places have excellent Philly's and occasionally really good roast beef. This all said. Yeah.... A great Cuban sandwich will knock your socks off. I was actually envisioning taking the wife unit out there once the Rona lightens up to check it out.

[@SydLane]

LOVE the sandwich, but the way she never let him talk made me sad.

[@ladennayoung2939]

Why would that make you sad?

[@SydLane]

@@ladennayoung2939 Cause it isn't right when one person in a couple monopolizes all the conversation, especially on a joint venture where they should both have the chance to express themselves.

[@hayaglamazonluxe]

@@SydLane Well said. I felt the same way when I watched the video. Their food looks great.

[@mineazauns5094]

Bet no one in Cuba eats this, nor most likely even know this. Must be a Cuban immigrant thing. Not to hate on it, it looks delicious.

[@timurermolenko2013]

Right. This is Cuban American thing. In Cuba it's bread with fried egg at most.

After enjoying a sandwich in Miami, travel to Tampa for an authentic Cuban sandwich on authentic Cuban bread. A "Miami" sandwich is "ok," just nowhere near the perfection of a "Tampa" sandwich which has been perfected over more than a century. Salud!

My husband, our kids and I, drove across the country from California to Miami the little Habana just to try a cuban sandwich. We had to try the real deal. We found cuban restaurants here in California but there was something about the sandwiches in the little Habana that oh man, We can't wait to go back!! 😋

[@avega2792]

My first cuban sandwich was at Porto’s bakery in Burbank, Ca and I wasn’t impressed. I’ve never been to Miami but I don’t doubt these are leaps ahead of what I got at Porto’s. Even the ones I make at home are better.

[@nisbenyricardo533]

When you go to Miami you also have to try a Cuban frita. It’s a Cuban style hamburger with a twist(the meat is chorizo). In my humble opinion as a Cuban man they taste better than a Cuban sandwich. Also don’t forget about Cuban pizza and a medianoche sandwich.

[@gerriallen3966]

The original Cuban sandwich was started I Tampa’s Ybor City for cigar factory workers and was NOT pressed also the pork is Mojo marinate!!!!! I wish people could get this right.

[@lanvazquez6026]

She makes those sandwiches with dedication and love.

[@oyeAhmer]

Just for the video

[@itsonlydirt1994]

Miami isn't just ALL about Cubans. Born and raised in Dade. We get it, 80% miami is Cuban but Damn that's not the only people who live here!

[@st.denysthemartyr791]

She had me at "no mayonnaise" ❤

[@gorillashop337]

Everyone knows that the Cuban originated in Tampa, Ybor City to be exact 😮

[@Thehubb1]

If someone pays $12 for your ham sandwich, shutup and put mayo on it if that's what they want

[@christophermccarthy3361]

Cuban sandwich was first made in tampa and it was called the “mixto”

[@jordanlee9477]

This look just like a Chimi here in DR 🇩🇴, gotta love them carribean food , much love to all cuban out there ❤️

Thats not a real Cuban sandwich. No palmetto strands on the Cuban bread and no salami. Tampa owns the real Cuban sandwich.

South beach had great cuban cafe's ...If you have never tried and get a chance to... find a cuban joint like this ... shes right ... its made perfectly as is.... no mayo... served with some black beans and rice and fried plantains...on the side
