Hefty Pork Sandwiches

Potbelly's 'Cubano Sandwich' is Filled with Two Pork Toppings

— April 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
Potbelly, the American fast-casual restaurant chain famous for its filling submarine sandwiches and milkshakes, has brought back the Potbelly Cubano sandwich for a limited time. The Cubano sandwich is made with roasted pulled pork and smoked ham, making it a hefty pork-filled sandwich for meat lovers. Aside from these toppings, the sandwich comes with swiss cheese, deli mustard, a pickle slice, and the customer's choice of bread.

The Cubano sandwich from Potbelly is available as of April 4th, 2022, at participating Potbelly locations across the United States. Whereas many fast-casual sandwiches are made with toaster-toasted buns, Potbelly assures its customers that its Cubano is made with the highest level of care and is always oven-toasted at a temperature of 500-degrees Fahrenheit.
