#CubanSandwichDay

National Cuban Sandwich Day on August 23 is built around a very specific sandwich: ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread, pressed until the crust is crisp and the cheese melts. It grew up in the Cuban communities of Tampa and Miami, and people there will happily argue about whether salami belongs on it.

What People Share on Cuban Sandwich Day

Food posts lead the day. Restaurants show the sandwich cut on the diagonal with the cheese pulling apart, home cooks share their press setup and bread source, and travelers post the best one they ever ate on a trip to Florida. The salami debate comes back every year and is good for comments.
