The last time I went to South Beach, I had a Cuban (well, a piece of one) prepared by a couple of Cuban guys in the courtyard of my hotel. Haven't had one since because that one piece utterly spoiled me.

Always wondered what a French Dip was, thanks.
Old San Juan probably owes me a little money, or at least a free sandwich. I'm quite certain nobody around here had ever considered that place until I broke the news 15 years ago in catpaw.
I described it because some crappy restaurants think that any old beef on a bun with a side car of beef bullion counts as a French Dip.
Apparently some people like that combo with Mayo/Miracle Whip added. Must have been invented by a pregnant fatty. Looks pretty disgusting.

Had a pork belly sammidge with Appalachian kimchi (pickled cabbage) on a Brioche bun at The Market in Abingdon, VA last night. I'm trying to think of a reason to go back up there today.
The Cuban at the Dawg House in Ft. Myers Beach is high on my list as the best Cuban I've had but sadly is only available a couple of days a week.
The Cubano torta from a little hole in the wall Mexican store in Richmond, Indiana is amazing. Eggs, ham, pork tenderloin, sliced beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, jalapenos, cheese n mayo all crushed together on crunchy bread will leave you in need of an afternoon siesta.

Give me a week or so, and I'll be back to hit you with a review of the real OG Chopped Cheese sandwich. #noketchup (shout out to Killa Cam)

Why would you say something like that, especially after your recent ban?
@MODS?
Anyways, Mashburned has NEVER been more jealous. Ever. This sandwich was made for him. Here's an 18 minute documentary on it that is also your type of film. #Dipset

It's going down! From Queens to the 859 baby!! Chop cheese is where it's at! I am the streets!!!
I don't remember what the place was called, but I lived near a cuban joint in Louisville. It was on Bardstown Road near Watterson Trail.
I went in there and ordered a sandwich. The owner made it and walked me through every step. He was so PROUD of that sandwich. He acted like it was his life long dream to make me a cubano.
And damned was it delicious

Best Cuban: Rincon Criollo located just outside Miami Central Station, . Slightly steamed. Lovely. Open air. Reminds one of a classic snack stand. Got the pic to prove it.

It may take them 30 minutes to make but the Old San Juan Cuban is
That and Dad's Chipotle Cheddar Roast Beef are in a class of their own.
People just like Dad's because it's "local". I've had that tiny sandwich before and it's mediocre at best. Their Tuesday tacos look like something made from Taco Bell. TS.
1. What is your favorite sandwich?
2. Which of these are sandwiches?
A good Philly beef steak. There are some good places all over our country. Wish I had a chance to try a few in Philly.
Whenever i visit Cleveland i always try to hit up a place called Melt. Every sandwich is a grilled cheese sandwich. They even do grilled cheese macaroni or grilled cheese meatloaf.
I was gonna put cheetos on my second chop cheese, but I ate all the cheetos first. BUT thats' a gold idea I think we all can agree on that. You can't really effectively put cheetos on a traditional burger, but they are tailor made for a chop cheese. What a time to be alive. Chop Cheeto Cheese, yo ass is mine.
Chop Cheese from OG Haji's in Harlem today. It was 
, only $4.50, and the place was even sketchier than expected so extra bonus.
I mean, it takes a LOT for me to feel uncomfortable, but those feelings quickly subsided once I stepped onto the sidewalk and entered American Cheese Heaven.
Swung in for a slice of at Patsy's up the street for dessert. Marcus Welby.

I've had 100 French dips from sit down restaurants both fancy and hole in walls.
Have yet to have one I like better than arbys.
