Comments (0) BEST CUBAN SANDWICH - 2003

Sarussi Cafeteria

For the past 38 years, Sarussi has offered the biggest Cuban sandwich in town: fifteen inches long and a good four inches tall. What makes owner Humberto Betancourt such a culinary genius is not mere size, however. It is his top-secret hot sauce. Piquant but not spicy, the peppery condiment gives this full meal of a sandwich a unique flair. Hints of Tabasco, mojo, tomato sauce, and some unidentified salsa reportedly smuggled in from Costa Rica. Intelligence sources say he prepares the sauce in a secure bunker beneath his heavily guarded home. Direct questions about the ingredients are met with icy stares, then mocking laughter. Good try.

Thanks so much for the article. That sandwich sounds absolutely delicious. I never realized how big a deal <a href="http://inter-paksupplyinc.com">condiments</a> could be. I realize now that they could literally change the flavor of the entire dish.
