Martin County, Florida, just set a new world record for the longest Cuban sandwich ever made. Community members built a 400-foot sandwich at a park in Palm City, beating the previous record of 365 feet set in Tampa last year WMTW. The event, called "Bite Into History: The Longest Cuban Sandwich Ever Made," was organized by Old Havana Cafe and House of Hope, a nonprofit that serves the county.
The sandwich wasn't just for fun — it raised money for a good cause. The Doris M. Carter Family Foundation matched every dollar donated up to $15,000, doubling the impact. House of Hope uses the money to help people in Martin County with food, clothing, and financial aid. The nonprofit also runs Growing Hope Farm and several nutrition gardens in the area WMTW.
