    That long, sharp diagonal cut is a must to be authentic. For some reason, it makes that first bite fantastic. I’m not opposed to the salami (Tampa style), but I grew up in S. Fla, so I’m used to the Miami style.

Respect to Cecelia Jenkins for this one. Also can't forget Bryan Roof and his vision of the perfect Cuban sandwich. This recipe requires planning and an investment in time. Hard to justify for a sandwich or 2, but doable for a small group of friends. Yea, I will definitely be making this.

    • @Mike-rx5uu

      There's primarily two styles: Tampa and Miami. The primary difference is the salami that is on the Tampa version. And unlike the video's reference to Miami being more open to ingredients, Miami Cuban restaurants tend to be pretty insistent that adding salami makes it no longer a Cuban sandwich.

The Cubans made the bread and mojo pork, the Italians added the salami, Spanish the ham, and Germans brought the mustard, pickles and Swiss cheese. Why ignore the Italian influence? Would it be the same sandwich without ham? How about forgetting the mustard, pickles or cheese? Miami can do whatever they want, but it isn't an authentic Cubano without salami.

    The only thing I can tell you, being Cuban born and raised in Miami since the age of 3, is? This bread is very difficult to master. There is something that must of went wrong, (though it was still probably delicious?) Cuban bread done right is stone white inside and super soft..and the outside is super pale beige color, & not browned like a French loaf? That's one, now second the Cuban sandwich made in every Cuban shop in Miami & Tampa is made with thin sliced roasted Leg of Pork. The Pork butt is a good choice if you're into doing a variation? But not true to the recipe in either of the 2 Cities? I do applaud you for still slicing it as thin as you could...🙂 Now, the salami you know know is a Tampa thing...that's neither here nor there? No big deal. Cos I like the two variations. The Mayo is an acceptable choice, cos it does help add moisture? And the MOJO, btw is something I like to do personally at home when I make mine, so your good in that choice. It's actually very welcome!🇨🇺 It's a shame the Cuban bread is so hard to get just right...🤔(that bread you made looked yellow on TV?) Idk if the colors were off,or what? Lol But I'm glad you guys enjoyed it..regardless!🥂
