SARUSSI'S CAFE – Spanish
The Sarussi Original goes back to 1964 and a counter in Hialeah, and it has not needed rethinking since: baked ham, roast pork, mozzarella and pickles pressed into Cuban bread, then slathered with a tangy, garlicky secret sauce where the mustard would normally go. Three Miami-Dade locations now carry the name, each separately owned with its own small variations. Travel Channel came calling in 2010 and the sandwich went viral again decades later, but the room itself stays no-frills - a counter, a press, a line. Eating one is eating a piece of Miami history, and locals will tell you so unprompted.
