Cuban Sandwiches
Mojo Pork Cubanos
Roy Choi's outstanding sandwich features slices of garlicky roast pork layered with grilled boiled ham ("American school lunch ham is great here" he says), as well as Swiss cheese and tangy pickles. You can substitute leftover roast pork for the Mojo pork shoulder Choi uses. Pair this with a fresh, hoppy ale for a perfect weekend lunch.

Cuban Sandwiches with Tomato Jam
Sandwiches are a classic choice for a tailgate, but Ken Oringer likes to go beyond plain ham-and-cheese. For these cubanos he roasts and shreds pork butt, then he layers the succulent meat on rolls along with homemade tomato jam, grilled onions, pickles and Gruyere. He cooks the sandwiches on a portable grill until they are crispy and warm.
