A Taste of Florida Lunch and Learn
Join USF Florida Studies Program at the Tampa Bay History Center for a conversation about The Cuban Sandwich: A History in Layers, with three devoted fans—Andrew T. Huse, Bárbara C. Cruz, and Jeff Houck—sort through improbable vintage recipes, sift gossip from Florida old-timers, and wade into the fearsome Tampa vs. Miami sandwich debate (is adding salami necessary or heresy?) to reveal the social history behind how this delicacy became a lunch-counter staple in the U.S. and beyond.
The experience includes a Cuban lunch prepared by the Columbia Cafe, an author book signing, and complimentary admission to the Tampa Bay History Center exhibits after the lunch and learn event.
