Miami’s cuisine is the perfect blend of flavors, variety, and international influences. Much of South Florida’s culinary culture is an eclectic collection of Caribbean and Latin American flavors, African American savors, and even European tastes. But something that Miami is especially known for is a good sandwich. There may be hundreds of sandwich options in the city, but there are a select few that should be at the top of anyone’s list. To get a complete taste of Magic City’s sandwich menu, come explore Miami and delight in the best selection of sandwich spots.
