A Cubano sandwich is a sandwich that combines Cuban, German, and Italian traditions to create a delightful cultural experience, all without ever leaving the state of Florida. The Cubano traditionally consists of ham, roast pork, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread. It goes great with a soup, salad, or fries served on the side. If you've never tried this sandwich, now is the perfect time! And if you have, now is the perfect time to have it again! On this national day, many restaurants offer great discounts and meal deals on Cubano sandwiches, making it well worth your time and money to pick up a few for dinner.

On August 23rd, celebrate this traditional Floridian Cuban sandwich that we all love to enjoy.

In 2016, Christopher Spata of the Tampa Bay Times set out to make up a new food holiday, and thus National Cuban Sandwich Day was born.
