"If your assignment was to make a traditional cuban sandwich and you handed this in, you might get a D-. To start, it’s served on a Portuguese muffin. There’s also cheddar cheese and mayo involved. But at least the Miami Shores shop acknowledges this by naming it the “Cubanish.” However, when your hypothetical teacher tastes this thing, they will bump you up to a passing grade and maybe even throw a few sparkly stickers your way too. Proper is an outstanding meat shop, which is obvious after the first bite of incredible roasted pork shoulder and smoked rosemary ham. The cheddar cheese also works surprisingly well. Once again, we’re all for breaking rules when they turn out this good." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
