Changing Up the Cubano

At B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. in Orlando, Fla., the Ybor City-Style Dog showcases the Cubano flavor system, featuring mojo pork, pickles, Swiss and mustard. This stands out for a few reasons: It’s a playful interpretation of familiar Cubano flavors, and it highlights the versatility of the sour orange-spiked mojo. If mojo pork can easily move into a hotdog build, how else can this craveable meat preparation be featured on menus? In tacos, burgers…? The possibilities are endless, thanks to a winning—and proven—combination of a punchy marinade/sauce with rich, flavorful pork.
