Yay! I love Deli Lane! When I was at school at UMiami (which is right up the street), I used to live a couple of blocks from D-Lane. I still miss this sandwich and their amazing breakfasts on Sunday morning.
Also, in case you are in the mood after your duck- you can always stop by BT's Gentlemen's Club, which is literally in the parking lot of Deli Lane. Haha. The strip club doesn't detract from the Turkey Bacon Club, though!!
Have you ever tried Pizza Kitchen around 124th and US1 in Miami? It's right by a baseball park and in the same strip mall as some Thai restaurant/video game store/office building!
Fantastic pizza and really great garlic bread. It is a pick up take out spot with maybe two plastic tables if you can't wait to eat a slice...which I never could when I lived there!
Roasted Cauliflower with olive oil, s+p, lemon juice, capers, and red pepper flakes!
I'm with boltchloer: Those fries look delicious.
So does the sandwich. I'd hit it.
forget the sandwich, how about those fries?!
How about Pressed Rat and Warthog, with an atonal apple on the side?
{a memory is a terrible thing to waste}
This looks amazing!
where did you have? sounds like next week's serious sandwich...
I had a grouper reuben sandwich a couple of weeks ago that was just insane.
Imagine a Reuben except with a large fillet of grouper instead of the regular meat ... it was ridiculous. Kill me now and let me go to heaven for I have tasted the perfect food .... it will cost you $10.95 but it is worth it.
@redfish - i agree with you- a good sandwich is a good sandwich. i guess I was just trying to preempt the inevitable "a real cuban has salami" comment by stating that I prefer mine without salami, because that's how I had it growing up in Miami.
That being said, I certainly wouldn't kick a Tampa Cuban out of bed, that's for sure.
I would eat that sandwich like it owed me money.
Imo the Tampa Cuban is not a fraud, it's a good sandwich and I'm not a sandwich purist, if it's good and it's a sandwich it is going in my belly. I've had delicious Tampa Cubans even with lettuce and tomato.
Even Miami Cubans aren't generally real Cubans anymore on account of the mustard instead of mojo.
According to all of the information I've ever read, the Cuban originated in Tampa and always should have the following ingredients: roast pork, ham, salami, swiss cheese, sour pickles, mustard and mayo. It should not have lettuce or tomato but it doesn't necessarily bother me if it does.
