I'm a Cuban... and most often times people get this wrong. Dude, you nailed it. That's very Cuban traditional. You got every aspect of it right! Awesome job! Eat the rest of your pork with some black beans and rice with some plantains on the side and you'll earn your Cuban citizenship. Lol
In Puerto Rico they have a pork roast called Pernil (per-neel). The marinade they use is simular to what you made but they marinade for 3-4 days. My mom makes during the holiday season
Your videos are .......... INSPIRATIONAL!!! We are in process of moving and all my grills/smokers are in storage until we get settled in 1 place, these videos keep me motivated to get to new place and 'Cook Something Outside'
From a Cuban, sour oranges are overrated. Buy one, taste it, get as close as possible with regular OJ and lime. You'd be hard pressed to pick out the difference after the pork goes through the smoker.
Best channel on UA-cam hands down. Never spent more time with my Weber since discovering Chuds BBQ. Thanks for the crazy amount of work that obviously goes into this. Let us know when you start shipping to the UK
WooooW ! I am so hungry now after watching you cook my favorite sammich on earth. Thanks for making this video and turning me onto Porter Road. Time to place an order cause we need to make this.
You are the master of all things bbq when you walk by a bbq it starts to shake hoping you will take it home keep it up I am learning a great deal and having fun doing it.
I too had my first cubano in Miami. With sliced pork, back in the '80s. My favorite sandwich with homemade pan cubano, tied with a hot pastrami on homemade rye. Great job, great video.
Sweet baby Jesus! That's a beautiful lookin sandwich! Cubano is one of my all time faves as well. I'm investing in this video with my next days off and making this happen! Thanks, as always, Mr. Robinson for the amazing and inspirational content!
I prefer the pulled pork version vs the 170 degree sliced version. Have had numerous Cubanos in Miami as well and prefer the pulled. The 50/50 ratio of lime and orange juice seems to be common, ignore the haters. This will be on the menu when my smoker emerges from its snowbank slumber, Thanks!
One of my favorite parts of living in Florida for 5 years was the Cubano sandwiches. Up here in the Northwest I don't think any restaurants that put a cubano on the menu has ever really tried a cubano. Will definitely be giving these a try at some point.
Looks amazing. As a Tampa native, I was raised on cuban sammies. Next time you make these whip up a cuban sauce... it's mustard, mayo, pickle juice and black pepper mixed together. Smother that bad boy and enjoy.
My favorite parts of you videos are when you sing your self-analysis…making this for the missus’ when she gets back from London on bidness this Friday.
Cubano is top 5 sandwiches of all time... now I need to know your list. Top 5 sandwiches of all time video please. Also, muffuletta sandwich video? Make mortadella sausage from scratch and Muffuletta bread from scratch?!
That looks amazing, and a great use for all the pork shoulders in the freezer. Might not make cubanos this weekend, but very likely will do the mexican pork. A+
I was actually surprised that you didn't have any of the LeRoy & Lewis peeps over to the house to try this one. Any time you do a recipe that is a little outside the "normal BBQ" box I always assume they'll be over to see if they need to add it to their menu. :)
I made basically the same thing about a month ago and I also tried the “Tampa “ style with Genoa salami and I gotta say I really loved it and so did my family it just added extra completing flavor
I recently tried your Sam Jones picnic roast. I don't have a proper smoker and do everything with a slow n sear. When I put the skin side over the coals I started the most gnarly grease fire. It's nice to see a pro do the same thing lol. I made Kenji Lopez Alt jerk chicken this weekend and it calls for half chimney of coals. That was like the perfect amount for crisping the skin but not burning. Going to try the picnic roast again in the future with that in mind!
So glad to see that experts make boo boos too. I'm super hard on myself when I botch BBQ. Something I have to work on, thanks for another awesome video!
You made a great looking sandwich. I was born and raised in Tampa. Where the Cuban Snadwich was born. Yours is one of the best looking sandwiches I've seen. I know your experience with Cuban sandwiches has been the Miami variety. But might I recommend that you add Salami to your next iteration? This is traditional in the Tampa version. And kudos on the bread it's a very good version of Cuban bread. And to me the bread really helps elevate the sandwich.
Love your vids bro, dunno if you'll read this but this is the first time commenting for me. As a 3rd generation Tampa native (the REAL home of the sandwich...not to start a war haha), the Cubano (it's actually called a 'Mixto') has been a staple in my life since I was born. I have access to sour oranges, they come from the Seville tree, and real cuban bread(LaSagunda Bakery is the only legit source)so if you ever need either, let me know and I will send you them! They do make a difference! Also, gotta have salami or it's not a real Mixto.. Same with the bread, it is what makes the sandwich actually. However, this is by far the best non traditional Cuban I've seen, and I'm glad it came from you! Keep it up brother!!
Best sandwich ever.....I've actually made this before, but my marinade was more liquid. Marinaded overnight, then hit it with some Mojo rub before hitting the smoke. I didn't make my own bread, but it did turn out fantastic!!
Looks amazing! Also, you should plant some oregano! That stuff grows like a weed and even survives snowpocalypses! Never need to buy it at the store again!
Chud press looks handy as heck! I'm a CAD Drafter with some work in sheet metal, would it be beneficial to have a parallel bar set to have an even press? Looks like it smooshes more towards the hinge. I'd be happy to help with some of the design work on that thing to make it easier and quicker to build. Also, that looks delicious. Love your channel.
Hey Chud, question for you....have you ever tried making an Austin Midnight? After watching countless videos of yours and the movie Chef for the umpteenth time, I looked to see if you ever tried making one.....and you haven't! You're already great at making smoked brisket and sandwiches (not to mention Cubans). Why not an Austin Midnight?? Btw - used your videos to help guide me on smoking Chicken Wings and Thanksgiving Turkey. Now I'm getting ready to make some Smoked Mac & Cheese for a Xmas party. Thank you for being you and happy holidays man!
Great job on the video. You're the first person I've ever seen on UA-cam to mention sour orange at all. You can absolutely do what you did with the lime and the orange, we do it when we can't get good sour oranges. Don't listen to anybody who says you can't do that. Also, the way you do it on the mini Chud box is exactly the way we've traditionally done pork. Directly over the coals with a lot of space so the grease that drips causes flare ups and adds flavor to the meat. It's always funny how whenever the topic of the Cuban sandwich or Cuban bread comes up, Tampa people have to jump in and say they invented it all and that Miami fraudulently claims it. You never see people from Miami doing that. Maybe Tampa Cubans have a complex? The guy that started the first Cuban bread bakery in Tampa left Cuba with the recipe in his pocket. How could he have done that if it was invented in Tampa? And salami in the sandwich? What other Cuban recipe has ever had salami in it? Not even chorizo, salami.
I was surprised when you said you found a sliced pork Cubano in Miami. They're not fond of anything 'Tampa Cuban' down there, as a rule. Here, 90 miles south of Tampa I grew up on Ybor city Cubanos with sliced roast pork. I found the Miami style at the same time I learned their little feud even extends to their coffee. Bustello in Tampa, Pilon in Miami.
I'm a Cuban... and most often times people get this wrong. Dude, you nailed it. That's very Cuban traditional. You got every aspect of it right! Awesome job!
Eat the rest of your pork with some black beans and rice with some plantains on the side and you'll earn your Cuban citizenship. Lol
I love Chuds honesty. He could have easily just edited that out. Home cooks approve
edited what out?
@@HithertoPaintball I think he means the flame broiling of the pork on the bbq.
@@HithertoPaintball the fact that the meat started burning.
Yeah both Bradley here aand Sam the Cooking Guy leave their mistakes in which is great honestly
TAMPA, FL native here. A Cubano is my ALL-TIME favorite sandwiches. The bread we have here is 2nd to none!
La Teresita? Love that place
I see new Chud’s video, I like, I watch, I drool…in that order.
Cubanos are one of those glorious things where you want travel back in time just to high five the genius who figured out that combo of flavors.
Been waiting for years! If I could like this video twice, I would
Loved the editing on the ingredients. This is my favourite BBQ channel
I'm a big cubano fan even way up here in Maryland. Thanks for another great vid!
I’ve actually been coming up with a Cajun version of this for my food truck. Thanks for this, looks incredible!!
In Puerto Rico they have a pork roast called Pernil (per-neel). The marinade they use is simular to what you made but they marinade for 3-4 days. My mom makes during the holiday season
Pernil is 🔥🔥🔥
worlds best sandwich! thanks for the idea
Thank you for not dragging stuff out bro!! We all have lives to live! Love it!
Your videos are .......... INSPIRATIONAL!!! We are in process of moving and all my grills/smokers are in storage until we get settled in 1 place, these videos keep me motivated to get to new place and 'Cook Something Outside'
I've made the best BBQ because of your content, sir.
Hard to get something better than an awesome looking sandwich video. Definitely have to add this to the weekend cook list.
Fantastic bread. One day I'll get around to the rest of this recipe
i need a chudd box in my life
From a Cuban, sour oranges are overrated. Buy one, taste it, get as close as possible with regular OJ and lime. You'd be hard pressed to pick out the difference after the pork goes through the smoker.
Sorry sour oranges is what it takes but is ok to cheat
@Edgar73 thank you for giving us permission to cheat, it was much needed.
apart from the zest & juice what else do you use sour oranges for in the US? In The UK we use Saville oranges (our sour oranges) to make Marmalade .
Would you have used yellow mustard, or a more grainy mustard? I’ve had it with both, but preferred the grainy, hot mustard.
@@timtyndall4025 Traditional uses regular yellow mustard and it totally works.
The loud,audible, "NO" and then hysterical laughing when you went to cut 😂😂
Best channel on UA-cam hands down. Never spent more time with my Weber since discovering Chuds BBQ. Thanks for the crazy amount of work that obviously goes into this. Let us know when you start shipping to the UK
This is one of the most interesting things I've seen you make!
Great job man!
WooooW ! I am so hungry now after watching you cook my favorite sammich on earth. Thanks for making this video and turning me onto Porter Road. Time to place an order cause we need to make this.
This looked amazing!!
If I see Cubano (or Reuben) sandwiches on the menu, I'm ordering it. Its the only time I eat ham. So delicious!
You are the master of all things bbq when you walk by a bbq it starts to shake hoping you will take it home keep it up I am learning a great deal and having fun doing it.
Man out of all the cooking channels you are in my top 3 I enjoy every video keep up the good work man!
Another classic from mr Bradley Robinson hell yea
Well i love in Key West. I just walk down the street amd buy a sandwich and enjoy every bite of it. 😊 and im happy. 🎉
Another great video Brad.... Thanks for going a step above.
I too had my first cubano in Miami. With sliced pork, back in the '80s. My favorite sandwich with homemade pan cubano, tied with a hot pastrami on homemade rye.
Great job, great video.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Sweet baby Jesus! That's a beautiful lookin sandwich! Cubano is one of my all time faves as well. I'm investing in this video with my next days off and making this happen! Thanks, as always, Mr. Robinson for the amazing and inspirational content!
Wow! I haven't had one of those in years!! Think I know what i'm having on Saturday for dinner now!! Thanks!
I prefer the pulled pork version vs the 170 degree sliced version. Have had numerous Cubanos in Miami as well and prefer the pulled. The 50/50 ratio of lime and orange juice seems to be common, ignore the haters. This will be on the menu when my smoker emerges from its snowbank slumber, Thanks!
Gotta try this. The Cuban Sandwich might be the best sandwich of all time.
I have the same exact sous vide setup as you are showing here. Chefsteps machine, container and the hinged lid!
Thats it... Im building a smoker! Great, another hobby. Thanks brad! Love the videos dude! Keep it up!
Great show! Learning a lot!
You should throw some sliced red onions on that to take it up a notch! Very good!
My gosh man, made this today... This is unreal good! I was shocked at how much I liked it. This is a carnitas killer!
Dude! With my adhd your videos squirrel!!! Perfect. Love the videos! How’s the whiskey? I think it’s snowing here. Did you say pickles!!!
That Cubano looks amazing!!
We always use left over pulled pork for Cubans
Thanks!
One of my favorite parts of living in Florida for 5 years was the Cubano sandwiches. Up here in the Northwest I don't think any restaurants that put a cubano on the menu has ever really tried a cubano. Will definitely be giving these a try at some point.
Man I feel that. Grew up in FL, never knew how good I had it until I moved to OR lol.
Wow chud you killed this, thanks for shedding some light on our cuban dish
Just went over from Guga's channel and subscribed. Cool and fresh style of videos.
Extremely well done Sir!
the muffin recipe was awesome! thanks for that
Looks amazing. As a Tampa native, I was raised on cuban sammies. Next time you make these whip up a cuban sauce... it's mustard, mayo, pickle juice and black pepper mixed together. Smother that bad boy and enjoy.
My favorite parts of you videos are when you sing your self-analysis…making this for the missus’ when she gets back from London on bidness this Friday.
If your in Texas a lot of the Walmarts have a pan sobao the closes thing you will get to Cuban bread so good!!
Thank you, this was such a beauty to watch.😊
“I just went for a run”
“I didn’t”
😂
Hey @ChudsBBQ, I think you forgot to add this to your Press playlist. Thanks for another great vid!
Great educational video thanks for doing it
Clicked on because of the thumbnail. Those look delicious. After watching this, might have to try it.
Literally did this last Saturday. I see we both probably looked at Weissman's recipe. I made Tasso ham out of part of the pork butt for mine.
Cubano is top 5 sandwiches of all time... now I need to know your list. Top 5 sandwiches of all time video please. Also, muffuletta sandwich video? Make mortadella sausage from scratch and Muffuletta bread from scratch?!
Nicely done as usual. That looked fan-taste-ic.
Triple-yum! There's nothing like a good Cubano sandwich and that looks incredible.
Man, I've requested this video so long ago in like three different places...Thanks Brad!
That looks amazing, and a great use for all the pork shoulders in the freezer. Might not make cubanos this weekend, but very likely will do the mexican pork. A+
Great looking sammie... gonna try that for sure
Looks delicious great job.
Great stuff man!!!
Brad, pleasantly surprised to see you're open to Tennessee butchers for your meats!
You're a damn master man. I was drooling this entire video.
That looks amazing brother!!🤤
I was actually surprised that you didn't have any of the LeRoy & Lewis peeps over to the house to try this one. Any time you do a recipe that is a little outside the "normal BBQ" box I always assume they'll be over to see if they need to add it to their menu. :)
YES!!! As if I needed another reason for a Chud press....
I made basically the same thing about a month ago and I also tried the “Tampa “ style with Genoa salami and I gotta say I really loved it and so did my family it just added extra completing flavor
Born in tampa, still live there, salami is the only way
Tampa style is the best!
beautiful Cubano!
this has become a regular occurrence on our dinner table. i use smoked provolone & pepper jack cheese though.
How does the metal puck looking thing on top of the cutting board heat the pot?
I recently tried your Sam Jones picnic roast. I don't have a proper smoker and do everything with a slow n sear. When I put the skin side over the coals I started the most gnarly grease fire. It's nice to see a pro do the same thing lol. I made Kenji Lopez Alt jerk chicken this weekend and it calls for half chimney of coals.

This guy is just amazing!!
So glad to see that experts make boo boos too. I'm super hard on myself when I botch BBQ. Something I have to work on, thanks for another awesome video!
Looks fantastic!! You think thin slicing leftover cold brisket would be a substitute for the slices ham??
Bravo!!. Where did you get that sandwich press?
So I should go for a light smoke only charcoal on this recipe?
You made a great looking sandwich. I was born and raised in Tampa. Where the Cuban Snadwich was born. Yours is one of the best looking sandwiches I've seen.
I know your experience with Cuban sandwiches has been the Miami variety. But might I recommend that you add Salami to your next iteration? This is traditional in the Tampa version.

However, this is by far the best non traditional Cuban I've seen, and I'm glad it came from you! Keep it up brother!!
Brad if you really want a game changer for this I recommend smoking the ham alongside the pork butt. By far some of the best ham I've ever had
Made these last week but made the pulled pork on the smoker. Next time will use your bread recipe, looks great
The video you knew was gonna happen 😏 Great stuff man! Keep it up
The best sandwich ever
Best sandwich ever.....I've actually made this before, but my marinade was more liquid. Marinaded overnight, then hit it with some Mojo rub before hitting the smoke. I didn't make my own bread, but it did turn out fantastic!!
dang that looks fire man!!
Looks amazing! Also, you should plant some oregano! That stuff grows like a weed and even survives snowpocalypses! Never need to buy it at the store again!
Chud press looks handy as heck!

I almost thought I was watching Star Wars when the Wookie sounds came out in the end 😂😂😂
I was wondering if the marinade can be blended to make any particles small and then injected? Great video! Thank you!
Cochinita pibil would be a great idea !!!
Open a restaurant chain. Top 5 cooks on all media platforms

Lol 3:35
Me outloud: That's a lot of mustard 0_0
3:43 confirming my suspicion xD
