National Cuban Sandwich Day: A Celebration of a Delicious Tradition

Today is National Cuban Sandwich Day, and we are celebrating in the only way we know how: by eating as many Cuban sandwiches as humanly possible. In all seriousness, though, the Cuban sandwich is a delicious tradition that deserves to be celebrated. So let’s take a few moments to learn about this tasty sandwich and its origins.

What is a Cuban Sandwich?

The Cuban sandwich is a heavenly concoction of roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard, and dill pickles on a crusty piece of Cuban bread. It is believed to have originated in Cuba (hence the name), but it gained popularity in the United States thanks to Cuban immigrants who came to Florida in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In recent years, the popularity of the Cuban sandwich has spread beyond Florida and other traditional strongholds like New York City and Los Angeles. Thanks to its delicious flavor and versatility (it can be made with either pork or chicken), the Cuban sandwich has become a popular menu item at restaurants across the country.

No matter where you are in the United States, you’re never more than a few miles away from a delicious Cuban sandwich. So make sure to celebrate National Cuban Sandwich Day the right way by indulging in this delicious tradition. Happy culinary adventuring!
