The Cuban Sandwich: A History in Layers

with Andrew T. Huse and Jeff Houck

The Cuban sandwich has achieved worldwide fame, but in Florida, it is especially revered and contested. Join Andrew Huse as he traces the epic journey of the mixto, Cubano, and medianoche sandwiches from hazy origins, through the cafes of Havana, and on to exiles in new lands. Huse explores how the crusty creation became a beloved symbol for a displaced people, won the hearts and mouths of America, and claimed a place on the world’s stage.

This program is based on the book The Cuban Sandwich: A History in Layers by Andrew T. Huse, Dr. Bárbara Cruz and Jeff Houck

The event is sponsored by the Florida Humanities.
