Cuban Sandwich

This was the other half of the Turkey Waldorf I shared with my friend (sandwich no. 375)—and I’ve got to admit, this was my pick of the two. Actually, of everything I’ve had at Norma’s so far, this might be my top pick.

It’s not your typical Cubano—no mojo pork, and served on their house-made focaccia instead of a classic Cuban roll—but it totally worked for me. I love a good focaccia, and this one was light and fluffy in the best way.

The combo of ham and hot salami was spot on—salty, savoury, with a tiny bit of spice and tang that gave it some attitude. The roasted capsicum added sweetness, the cheddar and Swiss gave it that bold, cheesy punch, and the sweet pickles tied everything together beautifully. I also really enjoyed the crunch and freshness from the butter lettuce.

That wraps up sandwich number four of the day—crazy, I know. But I’m honestly so full and so happy. Days like this, packed with sandwiches this good, are exactly what I live for 🥹🥹🥹
