great taste since 1905

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/-- Beginning today, Hardee's(R) offers its guests a getaway from boring chicken sandwiches and a ticket to a lunch hour paradise: the new Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich. The new sandwich combines the irresistible taste of a Hardee's charbroiled chicken breast with a savory-sweet teriyaki sauce and a slice of grilled pineapple. Top it off with melting Swiss cheese, red onion, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise, and it's a tropical temptation too good to pass up.

The Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich offers guests a refreshing alternative to the bevy of delicious Angus-beef Thickburgers(TM) also featured on Hardee's menu. It is the first new chicken sandwich for the chain since the popular Buffalo Chicken Sandwich launched earlier this year. With the introduction of the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich, Hardee's re-confirms its commitment to bringing sit-down restaurant quality to the world of fast-food.

"Hawaiian chicken sandwiches are a common menu item at sit-down restaurants and we have had great success in recent years making those kinds of products available to fast-food customers," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of Marketing for Hardee's restaurants. "From the introduction of the original 100 percent Angus beef line of Thickburgers more than four years ago -- which have now been copied by most other major fast-food burger chains -- to the Patty Melt Thickburger introduced earlier this summer, Hardee's has really built a reputation as a premium quality burger place, and now we're expanding that to include distinctive chicken sandwiches as well."

The Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich is offered for a limited time only. It features a charbroiled chicken breast dressed with red onion, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise; the chicken breast is then topped with teriyaki sauce, melting Swiss cheese, and a juicy slice of pineapple that has been grilled on the chain's signature charbroilers. The Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich will be sold at participating Hardee's restaurants for $3.79 or at $5.59 for a small combo which includes new Natural Cut French Fries and a small drink. Prices may vary.

Yesterday for lunch we went the La Tropicana, which has quickly become our favorite lunch spot in Ybor City. While The Columbia restaurant is top of mind for most folks when it comes to good food in Ybor, and I've eaten at various Columbia locations many times before, La Tropicana is tops in my book for authentic Cuban food in Ybor. Compared to The Columbia, La Tropicana is the new kid on the block. The Columbia dates back to 1905, La Tropicana since 1963.

I ordered "the special" which is half of a Cuban sandwich (a good sized portion) and a bowl of black bean soup. I tried to order a chicken salad, which they were out of so I was forced to have a Cuban instead. Traci had a greek salad.

Every meal comes with warm Cuban bread with butter. La Tropicana's Cuban bread is out of this world and reminds me of New Orleans french bread. We sat up at the counter which puts you more in the mix of the hustle and bustle of the wait staff. Service is quick, prices are great (cash only, though, this is old school and family run) and the food is consistently top notch and authentic as it comes. A great no-frills lunch spot.

A fun factoid is that President Bush stopped by La Tropicana for lunch when he was in town a few years ago. La Tropicana proudly displays a picture of the visit up at their register.

Bottom-line: Great Cuban food at extremely affordable prices in a historic setting. No visit to Ybor during the day is complete without grabbing a bite to eat at La Tropicana.
