FOOD&DRINK LUNCH:
Ultimate Grilled Cuban Sandwich “I’m no stranger to big sandwiches. If you’ve seen my Instagram account, you’ll know I sometimes get carried away, and a single sandwich can often feed a family of four. This is one of them; in fact this might be my favorite sandwich to date. The pork is tender, amazingly juicy, and super flavorful from the very simple rub we’ll use. The sandwich spread is bold with a slight hint of heat, and that crunch from the pickle just can’t be beat. This is also a great sandwich to make for a party. Just slice it into 1-inch squares and skewer it to serve as a finger food.” —Matthew Eads
