What is a Cuban Sandwich?
Many of the world’s most popular sandwiches first gained popularity amongst the working classes, and such is the case with the hearty Cuban sandwich. Cuban workers during the early 20th century often purchased hot meat and cheese sandwiches from vendors stationed inside their workplaces. When many of these workers migrated to the United States, especially in the southern Florida region, they brought many of their recipes and food traditions with them, including the original ingredients of their beloved “Cuban sandwich,” also known as a cubano.
