Answered

Yesterday, we asked “Do you think the Cuban sandwich really originated in Tampa?”

Cuban sandich — The Columbia Restaurant’s Cuban sandwich is legendary, made with La Segunda bread, smoked ham, yellow mustard, and more.

55% said of course
33% think the delicacy traveled up from Miami
12% aren’t really sure

Do you agree?
