So I bet you are wondering if I got a chance to try the award winning sandwich yesterday. NO :( In fact, I didn't get to try any of the contestants sandwiches yesterday. After I did my Saturday morning errands, I went across the street to check out the first annual Cuban Sandwich Festival. As I mentioned here, I was extremely excited to have this in my backyard. I love that this was scheduled the same time as the Ybor City Saturday market. I even saw a vendor with some beautiful organic veggies, which I will surely be checking out next week.
Back to the Sandwich Saga. So when I got to the park, the first thing I noticed was how HOT it was outside. Second, how crowded the festival was and it wasn't even noon yet. Third, the lines that wrapped around everywhere I looked. After I did a lap and checked out all the vendors (who all had very long lines), I decided I didn't want to stand in a long line by myself. I walked across the street to La Tropicana, who ironically wasn't in the festival as they claim to have the best and the original cuban sandwich in Tampa. I have to be honest, I was a little let down because it was not the best Cuban I've ever had.
Luckily, I live in this fabulous city and will be finding Michelle Faedo's sometime this week to try out this award winning sandwich.
