Cubanos-from-Chef

Cubanos were one of our top 3 sandwiches long before we saw Chef, so even we were surprised when the movie made them look better than any we’d seen. The problem was, the movie never lays out a recipe, so even though we know approximately what goes on them, we’d just be guessing when it came to marinades, spices, pickle styles, or really anything that isn’t a slice of ham or roasted pork. Luckily, Binging with Babish understands our plight and took it upon himself to rectify it. In this video, he lays out an easy to follow recipe with less work than we were expecting, albeit one that takes much more time. But the end of the video has him produce a sandwich that looks exactly like Jon Favreau and John Leguizamo’s, guaranteeing that we’re stopping by a butcher tonight to pick up some pork.

G5-Cool-Material

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
