Interesting... what type of bread did they use for the Cuban sandwich? That looks like a croissant... doesn't really even look much like
a Cuban sandwich.
But the high price for that sandwich is okay by me as long as it is good quality, good stuff. I found a good Cuban sandwich in Miami ("Deconstructed Cuban" at Bin No. 18, managed by a Venezuelan chef) for $8, and I liked it a lot better than the ones for less than $4 around town.
