Miami native here. Never thought a Cuban really needed salami until I had La Segunda visiting a friend. It’s legit.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wrong about the salami. They were not even created by Cubans either. Europeans that cured meats Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Fail A Cuban doesn’t have lettuce and is pressed. You are correct. No salami either. Wrong about the salami. They were not even created by Cubans either. Europeans that cured meats I think there's a lot of Cubano/Panini type fusions going on out there - where I have no issue with fusion cuisine.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you like grouper sandwiches, in the Tampa Bay area try Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs. But my favorite fish sandwich in Florida is the fried Hogfish sandwich at the Hogfish Bar and Grill on Stock Island (Key West). Fifi's, in Miami Beach

Quote HistoryQuoted: La Segunda makes a good sandwich. My regular place for Cuban sandwiches (and hot Cuban food) to go is the Interbay Meat Market. Go in, order the sandwiches, grab a couple drinks and then drive down the street to the Ballast Point Park and eat on a picnic table by the water. That brings back memories.... we used to call Interbay "the green store" .....it was the S. Tampa go to for a Cubano in our teens-20's. I live in Pasco now..... the best one near me is from "The Latin Spot" in Lutz .......

Quote HistoryQuoted: You missed the joke. Grouper. In the desert. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Uh, in GA we had several Venezuelan shops that made filled arepas. Sometimes cuisines spread. At a local coffee shop, I see they have Cuban samwiches and Cuban coffee on the menu...I'm kinda skeptical, but after trying their breakfast burritos, may give it a shot. You missed the joke. Grouper. In the desert. This place is a grouper desert. Yeah we have sea bass(not specific of what type tho) and snapper sandwiches, but not FL style.. ala frenchy's and whatnot. Too west. We do have good seafood here as there are a few shops that mainline it in daily.. but all west coast stuff and mexico. |

Best I have had was when you could buy them at Publix (freshly made in the deli). Tried Miami on a trip and was not all that impressed. That said, I think it has been almost 15 years since I have had one from a Publix.

Once you get up a little more north, it gets better... like Ventura, Santa Barbra, Morro Bay where you can throw a stone to the next hole in the wall joint. I Love eating local stuff on the docks.

I ate one down near Tampa last year just to see what everyone was raving about and I thought it sucked. Dry and crusty! Cutting the sub in the middle diagonally at a radical angle is stupid too. Just cut the damn thing in half straight across! The meat was good though, so I ended up eating it keto sans the bread.
