The Food Network just named "The Best Sandwiches In America" and in the ongoing battle between Miami and Tampa for best Cuban Sandwich, the winner this round is clearly Tampa.

The Columbia Restaurant was the big winner. In fact, The Columbia Restaurant was the only sandwich in Florida out of the 50 that made the list, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The #1 sandwich overall went to the famous pastrami on rye at Katz's Deli in New York City. If you were curious, the best Philly cheesesteak went to John's Roast Pork. And if you go to Nashville, they say to try Hattie B's Hot Chicken.
