Jenn de la Vega and Clara Park explore and discuss all aspects of the Cubano sandwich from the movie Chef.  The Cubano is more than just a sandwich. Join us for our discussion about the pros and cons of different cuts of pork, the world of mustard, how pickle brine belongs on sandwiches (and not in the garbage), and a query: is butter always better than margarine?
