JohnMitchell 16 #27 July 10, 2015 Didn't vote on the buns 'cause I like toasted, steamed or plain. I do love a Seattle dog, with cream cheese and grilled onions fresh off the cart when you're leaving the show at 1 AM. Perfect snack before the drive home.

muff528 3 #28 July 10, 2015 Plochman's is OK. ...just no Heinz. Heinz is OK for burgers, sometimes. I usually specify French's because that is mandatory for a proper Ybor City Cuban sandwich ...sour pickle, too, ..not dill. Nowadays they make them any old way ...even in Ybor. I think there is now too much influence from the fake Cuban sandwich schemes coming up from Miami. Also, even some of the Ybor City shops are making sandwiches to please outsiders and really are forgetting how to make an authentic one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(full disclosure: my aunt and uncle used to own the place.) Also you could try La Septima in Brandon ...excellent sandwich and other stuff, too.

muff528 3 #33 July 12, 2015 grue ... Will they serve a cuban sandwich at breakfast time? Good question. I don't know what time La Trop opens these days, or if they serve cubans for breakfast. Now that I think about it, it's been years since I've had a cuban at La Trop. I usually get palomilla breaded steak sandwich when I go there. If you're taking I-75, a better bet may be La Septima. Only a couple miles off the Interstate in Brandon. I like their cubans, but some of their other offerings are outstanding and hard to resist. Yellow rice & chicken, i.e. Also, good palomilla. But, I think they only open for lunch and dinner. Have a safe trip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
