They're everywhere now.
People are arguing about who makes the best one and who made the first one.
The bread is a fat crusty loaf and must have originally been invented in Cuba a long time ago.
To slice it and stuff it with delectable things is one thing, but to press it down and make it flat, not fat, and crusty and melty and tasty, is another.
The first one I had years ago at a friends' house had been reheated in their microwave and it didn't do a thing for me, leaving me to wonder why they were nuts about a Cuban sandwich.
So off we went to Tampa in their little car, to the tiny restaurant in a tiny, out-of-the-way plaza.
I watched the loaf being sliced, the meat and cheese and everything else being slapped on.
But the press was amazing to see.
And then I ate.
People should keep on arguing about who makes the best one and who made the first one, for as long as they like.
But just keep on making them, because they have to be one of the coolest sandwiches ever invented.
