Hot dog buns - toasted, steamed, or neither?

Recommended Posts

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.

Recommend La Tropicana on 7th Ave in Ybor. (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.

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.
