Tampa is a city of great food – with so many choices it's often impossible to choose! However, the real Tampa comfort food is, in my opinion, Cuban creations. Cuban sandwiches, deviled crabs, café con leche is the trifecta of Tampa cuisine.

Perhaps the most famous of the Tampa creations, the Cuban sandwich can now be found across the United States. A well made hot pressed Cuban with pork, salami, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on fresh Cuban bread cannot be beat.

Café con leche is made with the milk steamed just right, the espresso roast strong. Maybe a little sugar. Dunking your toasted cuban bread is always a great idea.

Deviled crabs originated in Ybor city as a fast, inexpensive hand-held food that cigar workers could enjoy. A croquette made from seasoned, cooked blue crab meat, Cuban bread crumbs, then fried and traditionally eaten with hot sauce. An amazing treat!

The 36"x24" (includes 2" border) archival giclée is printed by a local atelier on acid-free watercolor paper and features rich, saturated colors, deep dark tones, and finely nuanced details. Each museum quality print is inspected and approved by Tim Boatright before being signed and sealed with his embossed artist’s “chop.”

Please note: each piece is printed to order and may take up to three weeks to ship. The print is ready for framing.
