At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
This day is celebrated widely in Tampa Bay in Florida and across the US.
This day is celebrated by everyone who loves a good sandwich.
The first National Cuban Sandwich Day was an event that was launched in 2016 in Tampa Bay.
This event was started by Christopher Spata, who originally wanted to see how many news agencies would rush to cover a story of a fictional food holidays celebration.
The first Cuban sandwich was created with casabe bread ages ago by the Cuban Taino tribe, and instead of pork, they added a bird and fish meat.
As soon as Europeans spread out, pork and ham became available for the diet of the people and were used in sandwiches.
The sandwich was originated in the Key West and was appreciated all across the USA. Later, Miami fell in love with it and introduced it in their area as well. This sandwich has gained a lot of popularity over time.
Bake this bread or visit cafes catering to it and enjoy this day with family and friends.
Enjoy this day with your perfect Cuban sandwich made with ham/black forest ham, Swiss cheese, roast pork/roast beef, yellow mustard, and the bread lightly buttered switch olive oil, just like the sandwich popularized in Ybor City. The most appealing thing about a Cuban sandwich is the slow-roasted pork; the flavor is remarkable!
You can also celebrate this day with family visits to cafes catering Cuban sandwiches. You can be sure it's going to be better than cheese sandwiches!
Tampa Bay, Florida, is known for the best Cuban sandwiches.
This day is celebrated in honor of the most special meal throughout the country.
The event held every year in Tampa is organized by Victor Padilla and Jolie Gonzalez-Padilla.
The collective love of the sandwich inspired the day.
There are no limitations to this day.
National Cuban Sandwich Day has been celebrated annually since 2012 in Tampa.
