Cuban sandwich (Tampa style) · Tampa
The Tampa Cuban: pressed Cuban bread with roast pork, ham, Genoa salami, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard and dill pickles. The Genoa salami separates a real Tampa Cuban from anything else.
The Cuban sandwich was invented in Ybor City's cigar factories in the 1890s. Cuban, Spanish, Sicilian and German immigrants worked rolling cigars side by side, and the sandwich is a fusion of their cuisines. The Sicilian Genoa salami is the Tampa-Miami line: Miami's later 1959 exile version omits the salami. The City of Tampa formally declared the Cuban sandwich its signature sandwich in 2012. Roast pork is mojo-marinated overnight with sour orange and garlic before going on the bread.
