The inaugural Miami’s Best Sandwich Festival at the Gay8 Festival is in the books, and we have a winner.

Latin House won with their Vaca Frita Sandwich (Hand pulled Vaca Frita with a 3 Cheese Blend, Roma Tomato, Chipotle Aioli, Lime infused Onions, and Garlic Butter on lightly pressed Cuban Bread). The sandwich came with Mariquitas (fried plantains) and a Black Bean Dip, also crazy good.

The Judges were Carlos Frias (Miami Herald Food Editor), Cari Garcia (Fatgirl Hedonist), Diandra Lamas (Yelp Miami Community Manager), Reuben Ruiz (Next Food Network Star & Chef/Owner of Airport Cafe), and yours truly, Burger Beast.

It was a unanimous decision by all five judges that the Vaca Frita Sandwich was the winner.
A special THANK YOU to the 9 participants on this first edition of Miami’s Best Sandwich: Doce Provisions, El Exquisito, La Camaronera, Latin House, Mixto, Odaly’s Delight Cafe, Sanguich de Miami, Sergio’s and Tio Colo.
I can’t wait for next year to see who steps up to the plate to challenge Latin House for the title of Miami’s Best Sandwich!
