We are all grateful to the Earl of Sandwich. Legend says he was in a hurry one day, slapped a piece of meat between two pieces of bread, and the sandwich was invented. Eh! That's the story I heard. Some say he did not invent it, but he made it popular. Whoever! Thank you! :)
Anyway, here is a link to an archived post by a fellow freelance writer about favorite places to eat. The article writer recounts an experience at a restaurant in Palm Beach, Florida. It brought back nice memories. I am from Miami, Florida, and used to work in Miami Beach. For me, the best place to eat a great sandwich is a Jewish kosher delicatessen. that was within 5-minute walking distance from my job. Maybe the Earl made the sandwich, but the Jews definitely took it up a notch! The most difficult lunch decision for me to make was whether to order corned beef or pastrami. :)

World Cuisine: Food History: Cuban Sandwich
Most people, most people in or from South Florida, have heard of Little Havana, a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, built up by Cuban immigrants who fled Cuba when Fidel Castro came to power. Everybody knows this is the place to go to partake of authentic Cuban cuisine. However, did you know that the oldest Cuban sandwich shop which opened its doors in 1947, is not located in Miami? The famous Silver Ring Cafe is in Tampa, Florida.
That was news to me. Also learned something else new. Very familiar with the Sandwich Cubano (Cuban sandwich) and Media Noche Sandwich (Midnight Sandwich); but did you know there are several variations of this sandwich? No doubt they’re all delicious! There is a third one called Elena Ruz (Cuban Turkey Sandwich). It has guava jelly as one of the ingredients. If you’ve never tried Cuban food, you must try the Cuban Sandwich. Even the world-famous chef, Bobby Flay has his own variation.
Eating food is one of life’s greatest joys.
But learning food history is also great fun too!

Taste of the Islands - TV Cooking Show on PBS
Finally! Singing the Hallelujah chorus. AGAIN!
This time all the rejoicing is because of a food TV show.
We relocated to Austin, Texas in 1998 and my mate's first observation about living in this land-locked part of the state was that the city was missing a good Bahamian restaurant or at least someplace that serves dishes that look like island food!
Once we got cable TV hooked up and got settled in, his next complaint was that the #food channels didn't have a good cooking show to teach people how to prepare common island meals.
In 2015, his prayer was finally answered. Although the series did not last for very long. But it was fun while it lasted!
Our public television station (PBS) airs a show called “Taste the Islands”. Chef Irie (real name Hugh Sinclair) lives in South Florida but is from Jamaica.
My mate is from The Bahamas.
Close enough!
We're both very happy.
For now. :)
