| | Tampabay: To each, his own sandwich |
 | | For Tampa Bay, it's the Cuban sandwich, formulated in Tampa's Ybor City around 1900 as a 15-cent lunch for the Cuban immigrants who worked in cigar factories. |
 | | But associating the Cuban sandwich with Miami is a mistake, said Cuban-born Jack Espinosa, the retired spokesman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, who is writing a book on growing up in Ybor City. |
 | | The Cuban sandwich, Espinosa said, is a uniquely Tampa phenomenon, developed by Cubans who settled in the city long before their countrymen came to Miami. |
