« Review: Gabriel Rios at Joe's Pub | Main | Friday Créu, Dabke and Maraca »
Nina Lalli over at the Village Voice food blog Eat for Victory is accepting votes through today for the Cubano Challenge.
I already sent her my vote, which is for 1) El Mambi, 2) Margon, and 3) El Rey del Sandwich Cubano. I know that cubano fanatics are legendarily, well, fanatical, so post a comment on the blog or email her here.
Off to make lunch, seeing those sandwich pix is making me hungry.

Señor Coconut y su Conjunto: El Baile Alemán
Anything can be cumbia-fied, even this cover of the Kraftwerk classic.
Break Tocaima
Monareta: Picotero
Amazonically and beat-wise, Bogotá and Brazil aren't so far from each other after all.
Aberinkula
The Mars Volta: The Bedlam in Goliath
A little overstimulation can sometimes be good. Every time I heard the screaming it shocks me but gets under my skin.
Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go
So many friends raved about this. But I realized I get impatient with gothics. Must be the obligatory genteel reticence of it all.
Ed Park: Personal Days: A Novel
A comedy of social manners for the cubicle age. Nicely plotted even when it dips into the absurd. But I could'a done without the tour-de-force punctuation-less email that ties all loose ends.
Hanif Kureishi: Something to Tell You: A Novel
A bittersweet sequel of sorts to Buddha of Suburbia and Beautiful Launderette: What happened to all of us old brown punks now that we're middle aged.
Didn't know voting closed last night, so I didn't get to submit mine. For what it's worth my favorite cubano is, hands down, from La Floridita 4162 Broadway at 177th St in the Heights. I've not been there in a while but in the past I've made trips to WH specifically to have a cubano there.
