Today on Chewed Up, Michael, Carla, and Clinton are joined by chef Michelle Bernstein in Miami Beach for a crispy, handheld twist on a local classic: Cuban sandwich empanadas. Filled with ham, lechón, Swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard, these take everything people love about a Cuban and turn it into a golden fried bite.

Along the way, they talk Miami Beach food culture, Latin flavors, live fire cooking, and why Michelle's version works so well: it keeps the soul of the sandwich while giving it a whole new texture and form.

Thanks to our sponsor Experience Miami Beach.
