In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we invite you to join us for a special talk on one of the most delectable bites of food history: the Cuban sandwich. The lecture will include a special Cuban Sandwich tasting by Chef Chuck Bandel of our very own Café Gala.
Based on the research for their book The Cuban Sandwich: A History in Layers, Andrew T. Huse, Bárbara C. Cruz, and Jeff Houck will discuss the complex and fascinating history of this dish. In addition to exploring the sandwich’s Cuban origins, they will also sort through improbable vintage recipes, sift gossip from Florida old-timers, and wade into the fearsome Tampa vs. Miami sandwich debate (is adding salami necessary or heresy?) to reveal the social history behind how this delicacy became a lunch-counter staple in the U.S. and beyond.
