Tampa Cuban sandwich $4.50
It’s pretty good, the fresh made and pressed Cuban bread makes the sandwich

 

[solewoman]

Chicken tamales from queretario

 

[heelsandeers]

L&T doesn’t belong on a Cuban

 

[jrp44]

The gyros from Arby's are decent (Greek ones) also the 3 pepper sauce is

Cubans are very regional and have different variations depending where you are

The vindaloo was pretty good.

Went with a 5/10 for the spice.

Tampa is the only place I've seen lettuce and tomato

and it's trash. I always tell em no L&T if it's a spot that does it

I'm anti L&T on most sandwiches though

If this was a marketing ploy to advertise the Meat Mountain sandwich then it worked because I'm going to go buy it tommorow. Looks excellent when someone makes it right.

I have some packaged lobster meat, what should I do with it?

 

[Mark Antony]

Connecticut lobster rolls.

Glad you enjoyed it.

You've come a long way. No bull.

How hot was 5?

 

[Mark Antony]

I mean appreciate Koop's food growth (pause?) but curry shrimp and rice and bread ain't really a far way to go.

 

[moiety]

haven't had Arby's in a decade I'd guess but my go to was the chicken, bacon, swiss sandwich w/ curly fries. it was good bacon for a fast food spot. I think the sandwich came with honey mustard

never got the Arby's hate. the roast beef and all that isn't for me but I remember their fried stuff was on point

havent had it in ages but that was my go to as well, chicken was crispy, the bacon was thick and those curly fries always hit might have to try it out again next time im near one

Mild.

The actual spice was there.

The heat wasn't really anything special.

Or n is that the kind of spice people talk with Indian?

The kick or the heat.

There's a difference.

the pepperiness of the bacon and honey mustard set it off

on a sesame bun too

and the OG version I remember had NO L&T

 

[heelsandeers]

well that’s ridiculous lol

they bring little to the table on a sandwich

I'll take a thin tomato slice and crisp piece of iceberg on a burger but that's about it

 

[Comparison Ford]

Yeah I can’t think of any sandwich outside of an Italian hero where the addition of lettuce and tomato makes a significant change for the better.

Sauce game skrong
Why even bother with rice?

 

[206to813]

Anytime a sandwich is full of meat and bread, lettuce and tomato give it a much needed fresh cool crisp. Only time lettuce and tomato doesn’t make a sandwich better is peanut butter and jelly

 

[Mark Antony]

Not a fan of it either but I don't mind the lettuce when it's that super thin deli shredded lettuce.

Man told you get a 2. He thought you are ***** made. Let that sink in.

I have croissants, I'll make a sandwich with it tomorrow.

It isn't but it is.

I grew up in the bricks.

Single mom working all the hours as a nurse.

So I was pretty much eating anything you could throw in the oven, come back in45 mins and its ready to eat.

I was eating like marikomorose .

Seeing my people in this thread actually made me want to step out of basic American meals.

Would n of never eaten a whole fish, curry, jerk or oxtail with out this thread.

But I will NEVER try balut.

Go to hell SC kid

Ya boy has had saffron lobster ravioli!

WE MADE IT MA!

 

[jape]

I had a roast beef sandwich from Arby’s for the first time ever last month.

Wasn’t terrible, honestly. Would eat again in a pinch.

what pinch would force you to eat arby's?
