The Cubano, or Cuban sandwich, has been a staple of workers’ lunch in Cuba for a century.
The sandwich reached the Florida shores when those workers began migrating to America.
It has since become a regular food item on America’s global menu.
But perhaps no one can put together a “Cubano” like Cuban restaurants in Miami.
Reporter Steve Dolinsky has been sampling a few in Little Havana and gives his recommendations to anchor Lisa Mullins.
