Did you recognize that the food for the motion-picture show was created by none apart from LA Korean-fusion food truck original and rockstar cook Roy Choi? AND these square measure nice for FREEZING!

The real star of the motion-picture show square measure the Cubanos that square measure cuban pork sandwiches. I’ve had my share of nice sandwiches, significantly throughout my gastronome road journeys across the America. however Cubanos….they have perpetually control a special place in my heart, ever since that initial bite I unsuspectingly took during a random Cuban diner in Miami. It wasn’t even within the Latin neighbourhood, it absolutely was on South Beach!

I didn’t very even grasp that cubanos were a “thing”. I simply ordered a poor boy, knew it absolutely was higher than any sandwich I’d ever had in Australia (even totally loaded ones from up market bistros!) which it even rivalled Shake Shack (which is spoken communication something….because i'm enthusiastic about yank burgers!).

To be honest tho', once I came back to Australia, I forgot concerning the Cubanos, lost amongst the reminiscences of all the opposite superb food we have a tendency to had on our travels throughout the America.

I didn’t truly assume to create Cubanos myself till I saw this poor boy instruction by the beautiful and proficient Kathleen from Hapa Nom Nom (one of my favorite blogs, endless supply of inspiration!). And recently, I happened to receive a delivery of pork from Murray depression Pork, a premium vary of Australian pork. it absolutely was simply “meant to be”!
