BROCATO'S SANDWICH SHOP – American
Nearly eighty years on East Columbus Drive have left this Tampa counter with a short, fixed idea of what a sandwich is: deli fresh or pressed, twelve inches, chips and a drink included. Its own menu calls both the Cuban and the deviled crabs award winning. There is a fifteen-inch Cuban known as the Big Joe, mini crabs by the half dozen, stuffed potatoes, black beans and white rice, and a 1948 salad named for the founding year. Breakfast runs to Cuban toast and cafe con leche. Everything is cooked and fried in peanut oil. Fingercut platters handle the parties.
