Thank you for keeping this authentic. Everyone is always trying to improve them, when they're not improvable...spot on!
As a Brit with a profound love of the US, when I first went to the US and discovered the Cuban sandwich, I was taken aback, all my friends and family here in the UK now love the Cuban
Both looked fabulous, but I'd have to go with the Tampa version with the Italian sausage. YUM!!!!! Where's the dancing? LOL Cheers my brothers!!!
Agreed Troy! That salami is so good! No dance lol! Cheers brother
LOL! "Sick!" Both of those sandwiches looked "Lit brother! No cap!" LOL! I'd take either one Rus!
Haha! Hey Greg, thanks for watching brother! Same here, you can't go wrong with either one. Cheers!
Both sandwiches have got to be mind blowing delicious! Fantastic job on this cook Rus. That plancha looks savage and something that I need in my arsenal. #sick🤘
Such a great play on flavors! That mojo pork is truly incredible but paired with the sweet ham really takes everything to the next level! Thanks for watching Joe
Great presentation!!.. I personally prefer the Tampa version with the Genoa salami, like you well
said it was the Italian influence in Ybor at the time of the cigars factory workers. I noticed your delicate marinating of meats is the secret for flavors. Most shops don't take this extra step... Tampa has a lot of Spanish, Italian and German influence.. that said.. Flavor!! Please investigate about the Puertorican tripleta sandwich. Love the flow of the video.. Saludos 👍
Thanks so much! I will definitely research the Puerto Rican tripleta sandwich. Thanks again for the comment!
Looks so good. Having grown up near Ybor City, I've eaten lots of the Tampa Cubans. I'm craving one and I live 700 miles away now. 😋 😋 😋
See if you can find a Cuban restaurant nearby. I moved from Lakeland, FL to Indianapolis. Sure enough, there's a Cuban place about 25 minutes away. Haven't been yet, but I aim to.
Tampa makes them best!
That looks so good Russ, Thanks!!
I always appreciate learning the authentic ways things are meant to be made. Great video👍
Hey Bobbi, thanks for stopping by and watching! Thank you!
Yep, Salami on the Tampa version is from the Italian influence.. from the Cigar factory workers.. neither has to be pressed, that was not the original it came later.. Good Job Rus! These sandwiches were made like this because they did not need refrigeration when they take them to factory for their lunches..
Yes I mentioned the Italian influence in the video. Lack of refrigeration is also why they didn’t use mayonnaise. Thanks for stopping by it’s been awhile!
Yum! These look delicious👍🏼thanks for nice sharing.
Your welcome, thanks for watching
I remember having a Cuban sandwich for the first time when I visited Florida in 2016... I instantly fell in love and it's become my second most favorite sandwich (the first being the Reuben).
Man, When I saw it going through the slicer I knew it was going to be amazing! Great video, Russ!
Thanks so much!
I’m a Florida boy so I have eaten a few, and you nailed it!
couldn't ask for more great cook and a education. Thank You
Thanks Lance!
Those look absolutely amazing! Great seeing you at the Iola car show last Saturday. I'm Daniel from MN that talked with you about the beef on weck sandwiches from the Buffalo area. I've never had any form of authentic Cuban but maybe next year at the car show you can bring some of those supplies with Uncle Dickie! Great stuff Rus!
Thanks! I love a good Cuban sandwich. It was great getting to meet you as well! Thanks for coming back to our area and hanging out a bit!
I will give this a try. Thanks!
Both looking soo delicious 😋 with those explanations have a wonderful day
Thank you! You too!
Looking mouthwatering and I love such Sandwiches. Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Thanks for visiting
Nice recipe and presentation!
Got to try this
Sick Sandwich Derek & Russ. 🥪😂
I’m a sucker for that salami too. Thanks guys.
Sick Dude for Sure! Hey Rus and Derrick good work on these. I need to try that marinated pork. Both sandwiches look tasty! I never knew there were 2 versions....the salami version is new to me. Y'all stay warm over there!!
Haha! Yeah not much difference but enough to give it a little different experience. Thanks for checking it out Rob!
Both sandwiches looked delicious, I like the Miami version better since I don’t really like salami.
I’m Cuban and from time to time I make my own sandwiches, I like to pour on top of the roasted pork a little bit of a mojo I make with salt, sour oranges, cumin and crushed garlic.
I roast and ground my own cumin, the store one is not good IMO, makes a huge difference on the flavor.
Fresh is always better, no doubt
Great video. Very thorough
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@SmokyRibsBBQ it was sick! 🤣
Top notch Russ, been awhile snice I have eaten one. loved the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I always say you the best man! Love you man!! It's sick too!!🤣👊
😂
Excellent head to head! I've never had theTampa version before but I'm thinking it would be my favorite. Best cuban sandwich I've ever has was at Meson De Pepe in Key West. Fantastic ! They pull their pork rather than slice it. Cuban sandwiches have such simple ingredients but so much flavor. You nailed this one Rus. Thanks for the history lesson as well.
Hey Jaxx, thanks for checking it out brother! Good eats!
“Sick” video Russ! I need to get me one of those meat slicers and a sandwich press.
As a second generation cuban American born and raised in Miami, this is a pretty authentic sandwich. Thanks for the cool video
Awesome I love it
Looks great! good video! More pickles!!
This episode is awesome! I still have yet to have a Cuban sandwich even though I know what they are! There always seems to be something that looks better on the menu. LOL! But you've convinced me! Super interesting about the bread. And so much fun to watch you construct these! I love salami so I am down with Tampa! Now to find a proper Cuban out here! And of course, I need to read the history! :) You are always up to something great Rus!!
Hey Jill! Yeah I forgot your down in Florida right now, you should definitely try them out. I hear the Columbia is the most authentic in Tampa but there are many other places around that area that make them. Thanks for watching!
For the years I lived in Florida, I never had a Cuban in Tampa, as much as we played at Skippers or at Jannus, Versailles on 8th in Little Havana was my go-to for a Cuban. You did a great job on both👍🏼🇺🇸🔥
Thanks, we appreciate it
Beautiful! Great job 👍
Thanks!
Dang Rus and Derek....the Sandwiches 🥪 look crazy delicious. Thanks for telling us little history behind both Sandwiches. Y'all take care and have yourselves a great week. Cheers!
Thanks Stephen, we appreciate you watching!
Drooling, they look so good.👍🏼
So good!
Love me a Cuban sandwich! Great video thanks
Thanks for watching
I must say both sandwiches look awesome. There is vernacular that is lost on us older folks, but the point still comes across. Cheers, Russ and Derek! ✌️
Haha, yeah it took me awhile to wrap my head around how the word sick, could mean awesome
Heck ya fellas those Cuban’s look ok delicious!! Interesting about the 2 different styles! I like is would like the Tampa more too with that sausage added! I got to get one of those sandwich presses!!
Hey Jeff! Thanks for checking it out brother! Pretty tasty sandwiches for sure! I especially like the bread that’s pressed to give it a really nice crisp
Excellent reproduction of the classic, brother! I like the Genoa Salami addition but there’s no doubt that they’re both delicious. That Sammy press you have is awesome lol. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Mike! Yeah that was my preference as well. Loving the press brother! Cheers!
Y’all wanna talk about good! I love salami on a sammie with good mustard! Being of Italian and German descent, I love it all! You did really good with this! I enjoyed being a taste tester, too!
That looks great! You should make a Fritas sandwich sometime on video that would he a hit.
Never knew about the Tampa version only had the Miami. Looks like it would go. Thanks for the knowledge. Great video 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😅😅😅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very well done!
Great job, Russ. Very informative and interesting. I had no idea there were 2 different versions of the sandwich, as I've only ever known the "Miami" style, but I think the salami would be a great addition.
Salami works great on this sandwich. It pairs very well
We tried to keep it a secret.
I agree your Statement
Oh yeah you did this one right! I have always had the Miami version I guess, but I want to Try the Tampa version now for sure it seems even better! Now I gotta order some of that bread
Thanks Joe! I appreciate you checking it out!
I’ve had one from Miami and From Tampa and I determined that I just Like Cuban sandwiches! Good video Russ. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty much my same opinion! I would take either one with no complaints. Thanks for watching
Russ … great work on this. We live in Tampa Bay and eat lots of Cuban sandwiches. Thanks for telling us how to cut them. 😎
Thank you! I appreciate it and thank you for watching!
I'll take one of each absolutely killer dam I need to make this great recipe my brother
Hey Russ, just found you looking for Iola car show info. Man, that Cuban sandwich (Tampa) looks great! My favorite Cuban sandwich shop in the Tampa area serves a black bean and rice soup with their sandwiches. Add a little Louisiana hot sauce and it’s good to go.
What part of Mississippi are you from? And congrats to Rebels baseball team! A new Wisconsin follower.
Wow, both sandwiches look awesomely delicious but I would go with the tampa cuban one any day. Thanks dear for sharing with us, looking forward to more recipes from you.
Thank you for watching
I'll take one of each! :)~ YUMMY! Thanks for lunch video.
Good eats! Thanks for watching Gini
My favorite, favorite way to cut it is the way this Cuban Sandwich restaurant when I was little would cut it, is cutting it in the center long ways..it just tastes better that way? 😋 That restaurant unfortunately closed down. But it was really Popular..the Bomb, they would say now adays...
To yummy Russ! Love that Mojo pork, looks so delicious. A good Cubana sandwich is probably my favorite and fortunately there a a few little places in Reading, PA where I can get 1. Makes me want 1 now.
My first video since catching with Smoken Joe the other night
Thanks Bert! They are 1st class sandwiches for sure. So good! Thanks for stopping by and watching!
thank you, never heard of the tampa version before. it makes sense. i've yet to find something that wasn't improved by adding a decent salami.
Oh man those look goood!!!
Been to Miami and Tampa many times. Unfortunately, I was always driving OTR and just never had the chance to grab a Cuban sandwich, but man do they ever look and sound delicious.
Maybe you can try it one of these days, thanks for checking it out
Feel bad for you guys. You see the whole country but you can’t really get out of your cab and experience it!
The name on the bread is the best place in Tampa. I go in there ever time I working that area. so good
So good!
Enjoyed the video, wish I could have tasted one of them sandwiches though 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
No dancing today?!? 🤣 That bread looked amazing…
TAMPA BOY HERE YOUR RIGHT ON THE MONEY EATEN THEM MORE THAN 50 YEARS NOW YOU RIGHT ON WITH CUBAN BREAD BEST IN TOWN
russ you have the right bread try palomilla steak sandwich great sandwich
It’s excellent bread! Was nice being able to get my hands on it! They ship so that made it so easy! Thanks for watching
You got that right. The bread is the key component. Make or break it.
Great video. Sandwiches look good. Will have to find out if it is better than the shrimp Quesada.
So good
Rus did you get the mojo marinade local? I live in Ocean Springs and want to give it a try
You may can find it locally, since Badia products are sold here, but I ordered it online. There are a few Mexican stores around here that may have it if you can't find it elsewhere locally.
Great video. Really enjoyed the history about how it came to be with Spanish, Italian, German influences and the Swiss Cheese being the melting pot to bring it together.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video
I lived near Tampa and Ybor for about 20 years. The Cuban at the Columbia along with a Cafecito afterwards is life. Btw, La Segunda serves a mojo chicken Caesar sandwich that's pretty awesome.
Would love to take a trip to Tampa one day and visit the Columbia restaurant, and hit a few other spots as well.
Definitely. The Columbia is gorgeous and a dozen or so dining rooms, but the main one with the skylight and fountain is the best. They have Flamenco dancers, certain nights, at the bar and hand rolled cigars. Don't pass up on the 1905 salad. It's legendary.
Try my version substituting Sweet Baby Rays honey mustard on each slice of bread and 2 slices of honey ham with bread & butter pickles. I like it better than the original Sandy’s Cafe Cuban in Key West.
Holy...your camera is legit! So are the recipes of course.
Wow, thank you!
DAMN ! Rus , I'll take whatever you and Derek didn't eat ! Great looking sammiches!
Thanks Kent! Good eats brother!
Up to 20 years ago NewYork City had the best authentic Cuban Sandwish located in Washington Heights
Nice Rus... how about some links to purchase the bread and marinade.

@@SmokyRibsBBQ Tks
I dont recall the Cuban ingredients i had tasted in clearwater Beach but I would assume its the same as tampa. It was hands down the most flavorful and best cuban sandwich, actually better than any sandwich, that I have ever eaten.
I really love a good Cuban!!
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Nice Anova oven. I love mine
Love it!
me again looks sick dude
Haha 😂 Thanks Lance
I live and grew up in Central Florida for the longest time I never knew people outside of Florida didn't know what a Cuban sandwich was I thought they were everywhere
Excellent job. Those Cubanos are as authentic as ones you'd get in Ybor in Tampa or Calle Ocho in Miami.
Thank you!
Love a good Cuban sandwich
If you want to change it up
Swap mustard with a good tangy bbq sauce
It’s a game changer
I always thought they put a spicy mustard on that sandwich. Like a habanero spice or a beer mustard something. Either way I love that sandwich. 😋 with a cold beer to wash it down. 👍
All the videos I seen researching this shows French's mustard. Something that was around way back in the early 1900's and didn't need refrigeration. Thanks for watching!
As a Cuban of 52 years old living in Tampa and eating Cubans since I was a kid I choose the Miami version
PS the ham used in the Cuban sandwich is called serrano ham and sliced thin
Thank you, in my research for this video I only heard sweet ham from Tampa and Miami. I'll look into the serrano ham for sure! Your the 2nd person today to mention it.
I like the Miami Cuban Sandwich more. It's AMAZING 🙉
Nice up north they make it with pork ham one fried hot dog refried beans and one over hard egg mustard 👍🏾
Interesting! They don’t call it a Cuban do they?
Yes they do call it a cubana My favorite taco truck called Moe,s Mexican Cuban eats Champaign Illinois
@@johnmooresr2318 I know what you're talkin about but that's actually a Mexican sandwich they just call it the Cuban
Miami all the way mi hermano ✌️
Tampa native here, so TAMPA !!!
Do you ship? Holy wow. You could just ping pong back and forth between Miami and Tampa and eat like a king, or visit Rus in Mississippi :)
Haha! I don’t ship but I’ll cook you some up if you're ever in my neck of the woods Ry!
Both versions look delicious but my preference is for the Tampa version I love salami on a Cubano this is sensational....It's SICK 🤣😂😅!!!!
I totally agree!
I would gladly pay U Tuesday for one of those sammiches today 👀😋🤤😍
Historically speaking, Tampa had a much larger Cuban population up until the late '50s early '60s during the Cuban revolution. This cigar factory is in Tampa were built well over 100 years ago. They were man by mostly Cuban immigrants, though there was a large population of Spanish and Italian immigrants there as well. So for which one's more authentic, who really knows, though for which one was the original I would put my money on Tampa. Also, it specifically the Tampa one that gets a little bit of mayo. As far as how delicious they are, and someone who's probably had over a hundred Cuban sandwiches, I can attest that they are fantastic.
Yes very good indeed. The history in interesting, and like many things, you will read different opinions on what the original was. The fact that there was little to no refrigeration in those days is the primary reason only mustard was used, since it doesn't require refrigeration. Seems plausible to me, but who really knows for sure.
Süper 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The other subtle factor is how much butter you coat the sandwich and plancha with. If you go way heavy on the butter you get a crispier more golden bread but it washes away the flavor of the other sandwiches you already made and there is something to be said for that steak infusion from previous sandwiches on a dirty plancha. If you're between Tampa and Miami on the west coast Sopressa Cafe on Tamiami and Naples is your best bet and on the east coast Cubano BY on Old Dixie in Vero Beach is the way to go. And special shoutout to Casa Santiago in Palm Beach Area on Okeechobee has the best soups in the state if you don't count the twenty-dollar bowl of she-crab soup from Frenchy's. The Seinfield soup guy can't come close to Casa Santiago.
Well luckily this was only my second cook on the new plancha, so nothing was affecting the flavor from previous cooks. But I'm sure in time I will have many cooks on it. It's cast iron, so in my mind, the more it's used the better it will taste.
Russ, for all the cookers and other kitchen gadgets you have, you must have one big ass garage! 🤣😂😅
😂
I need to buy one of those meat slicers
They are very handy to have
Ugh I miss this sammich! Even though I'm living in NH now...I'm a Tampa girl all the way...sorry Miami lol
Ybor City cubans with a deviled crab are the best.
We're inviting you to lunch, Rus.
And you're cooking ;-)
Haha 🤣
I grew up south of Miami. Real deal Cuban bread is my favorite. Get that with some Cuban coffee in the morning your glad you got out of bed.
I’ve never seen salami in a Cuban.
This is how God intended sandwiches to be made!
I have my own recipe for that. I use parmesan crusted french style bread, a special sauce of mayo, mustard and sweet relish and grated carrot. Virginia ham, mantain the swiss cheese but instead of mojo pork I use meat from sweet honey bbq ribs, cooked on the oven until they fall apart like pulled pork. ALSO hot pressed with garlic butter, I call it The Cubano Americano. AND HEY if you use this recipe and sell it, BE SURE TO at least give me Credit when you are being interviewed for the hottest New sandwich in America....
