Bobby Flay is back at it again, challenging some of the best chefs across the country in his show, Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Season 7 episode 12 sees Bobby taking on the iconic Cuban sandwich.

The Cuban sandwich, also known as a Cubano, is a popular sandwich that originated in Florida, USA. It traditionally consists of roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami, all layered between two slices of Cuban bread and then pressed and grilled. The combination of the salty and savory meats with the tangy pickles and mustard make the Cuban sandwich a favorite among sandwich lovers.

Bobby travels to Miami, Florida, to take on two of the best Cuban sandwich makers in the area in a head-to-head competition. The first is a local food truck owner who has been perfecting his Cuban sandwich recipe for years. The second is a chef at a popular Cuban restaurant who has won numerous awards for his take on the Cubano.

Bobby starts by visiting a local shop to pick up the freshest ingredients for his sandwich. He then heads to his makeshift kitchen to begin preparing his version of the Cuban sandwich.
