About this appearance

Chef Essi Tadrus sat down with the Alan Alford Sports Talk Show to talk about Southern Luv BBQ’s showing at the 15th Annual International Cuban Sandwich Festival, held at Centennial Park in Historic Ybor City.

The interview is credited on the festival’s own recap as “Essi Tadrus: Southern Luv BBQ Owner Talks Cuban Sandwich Festival.”

Southern Luv’s smoked-pork Cuban placed second for World’s Best Traditional Cuban Sandwich at that festival — the second consecutive year the pit finished on the podium, after taking second in the non-traditional category the year before.

The sandwich is on the menu year-round as the Q-Bano.
