Cuban sandwich · Miami
Pressed pan cubano with roast pork, ham, Swiss, mustard and pickles, the sandwich that turned Tampa-Miami into a regional rivalry and Calle Ocho into a counter-service strip.
The Cuban sandwich emerged in the early 1900s in Tampa cigar-factory cafes, then took root in Miami through Cuban exile counters after 1959. The Miami style omits the salami that Ybor City still defends, sticking with roast pork and ham on Cuban bread, pressed flat on a plancha. The Versailles, La Carreta and Sanguich versions are each defended by partisans.
