If you don't have any cuban restaurants around, it's really easy to make. You just need to make sure your bread is very soft and squash the hell out of it so it's nice and flat.

"French bread" as I use the term is actually more like Cuban bread than the crusty French bread most people think of. New Orleans French bread is interchangable with Cuban bread (according to my Cuban friends from New Orleans). I actually used Portugese bread for the Cubans I just made, it's the closest I can get around here.
 
So good. I absolutely love these sandwiches. One of the dining halls on campus made them and I'd get one every time they had them. That summer when I went back home, I bought a George Foreman grill with the intent of using it almost totally for making Cuban sandwiches. I'd just buy a bag of Italian or French rolls and put the ingredients on (although I'd use dijon mustard and provolone cheese most of the time), spray the Foreman with some Pam and put the sandwich in, mash it flat, and let the bread get nice and crunchy. Good eats right there.

I had the best one I've ever had a few weeks ago, though. I was out at lunch and went to a place called the Atlanta Bread Company (dunno if this is a regional chain or what), but they had a Cuban panini and I figured I'd give it a shot. Absolutely wonderful.

Edit: And forget using leftover pork for them; they're good enough to make a whole batch of pork for just making sandwiches.

I was about to ask that. First time I had Cuban bread was when I was in Tampa Bay a couple of years ago. It was good, too bad I can't get it around here.

A Cuban Sandwich is best on fresh Cuban Bread. In a pinch, you could build an excellent sandwich on any similar loaf that was not too long from the oven.

I let the experts make mine.

I've had em in New Orleans and I've had em in southern Florida, and I'm telling you, Cuban bread is nothing special. Especially once it's squashed and fried. It's the same thing as New Orleans French bread.
 
I worked in Tampa for about 7 years and lots of little stores made by authentic Cubans had Cuban Sandwiches. They are great, and of course the only way they are any good is with the real cuban bread and they must be pressed.

Fine, I guess I'll have to go up to canada, fly down to Cuba, kidnap a Cuban guy (make sure he's a baker too), then bring him back up to NYC to make my Cuban sandwiches for me. 😛 Because obviously, I'm not qualified to dabble in this mystic art.
