store and even many gas stations it's the right way to start off any day number eight the cuban the history of this import is unclear but one thing's for sure it's a sandwich done right likely

mustard and sliced dills the cuban consists of roast pork glazed ham swiss cheese and depending on what part of florida you're in salami a variation on ham and cheese the cuban is a work of art number

tell us if you mind that when the sauce and melted cheese is oozing out of your mouth number five the blt a wise man once said bacon makes everything better he was most certainly right another simple sandwich and second only to the ham sandwich in terms of popularity in the u.s this one consists of three ingredients stacked between two slices of male slathered bread bacon lettuce and tomato

creamy and melty it's a cheesesteak number three the club similar in filling to the blt this classic sandwich is traditionally comprised of bacon iceberg lettuce and tomatoes in addition to some juicy pieces of chicken on toasted white bread covered in mayo but what makes the club unique is the third piece of bread found in the middle of the sandwich to put it bluntly it's a game changer found on
