I went all the way to Seattle for a Cuban sandwich, and Paseo was worth the trip. Really, I was there on vacation with friends, but we all agreed the sandwiches were a highlight. The Cuban meat sandwich landed on Esquire's best sandwiches in America list, which I'm slowing eating my way through. Paseo's roadside stand resembles a candy-colored double wide with no sign, but the sandwiches are palatial. Feast your eyes on greatness in the gallery below.
Though I still must try a real Philly cheesesteak, even higher on my sand wish list is another famous Philadelphia sandwich, the roast pork. I am a bigger fan of pork than beef, yet in my opinion, roasted pork doesn't show up on sandwiches nearly enough. The special touch here is broccoli rabe to green and grit up the meat and usually provolone cheese.
I've heard that Tony Luke's does a great roast pork, and my cheesesteak expert pal also highly recommends the fare at Tommy DiNic's (pictured above). Have you ever had a Philadelphia roast pork sandwich? If so, share your recommendations below.
