Bruni Praises the Lard


Had brisket at Hill Country last night - both sliced and burnt ends. RUB was the best Hill Country better. The ribs aren't bad either.

Are Most Cuban Sandwiches Created Equal? Where's your favorite?

I've never met a Cubano that wasn't already made - just had to be pressed & heated.
Try Gena's Grill, 210 1st Ave. (12/13 St.) The best I've had - moist and really garlicky!!!

I agree with you, Jack. Cibao's Cuban is solid. I can't believe Cibao hasn't been forced out by the landlord.

Cibao on Clinton @ Rivington is solid.

Up by the Columbia University Medical Center in Washington Heights there is a deli that makes the best Cuban sandwich I've had by far, although I have not yet made it to the Spotted Pig. They assemble it to order and it is consistently good. I can usually only eat half, and then I have to take a nap. The sandwich is called Tony's Cuba East and can be had at the Tasty Deli.
