What it is
The pressed, golden sandwich of Tampa and Miami: roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard grilled in crusty Cuban bread until the cheese pulls. Ingredients: Cuban bread, roast pork (mojo), sliced ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, yellow mustard, butter or lard for pressing; Tampa adds Genoa salami. Recipe: 1) Layer mustard, cheese, pickles, pork, ham and more cheese in the loaf. 2) Butter the outside. 3) Press on a plancha with weight until the crust crackles and the cheese melts. 4) Cut on the diagonal. Serve: hot, with café cubano nearby. Flavor: porky, tangy, crunchy-creamy. History: born in the cigar-factory cafés of Ybor City, Tampa, for Cuban, Spanish and Italian workers — the salami marks Tampa's Italian imprint, Miami omits it, and both cities defend their version fiercely.
