Welcome to Wednesday, Fare Exchange friends. Our first request is from a college-age reader, R.N. She has just returned from school in Athens, Georgia, remembering her favorite Cuban restaurant and wondering:
“My friends and I always got the Cuban sandwich; I think it had a special sauce. My request has two parts: how to make this sandwich at home, and can I buy an authentic Cuban sandwich in Chattanooga this summer?”

Next, and from another generation, came a reader we’ll call Granny. “I am probably not the only one who got an air fryer for Mother’s Day. I don’t know where to begin using it. My grandson said Brussels sprouts work great in an air fryer, but that is the recipe I tried, and they were black and wayyyy too salty. I wouldn’t mind a good Brussels sprouts recipe, but more than that, I really need some directions for the best use of this appliance. Would your readers tell me one thing that they prepare in their air fryer and how to do it?”
