The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in training camp right now, and there’s definitely a chance that they’ll add another trophy to the “Champa Bay” mantle. Before that, however, is a different kind of achievement.

Organizers of Tampa’s Cuban Sandwich Festival pop up outside One Buc Palace this weekend where they’ll attempt to break what they say is the world record for longest Cuban Sandwich (330 feet), set last year in Kissimmee.

This year’s goal is 360 feet (the length of an American football field), and the hope is that the sandwich ends up at a local homeless shelter. A VIP option includes samples, and a special area, but admission is free with registration and includes live music from Revalacion Salsera and Aramis y Sol Caribe.

There's no cover for the Ford Taste of the Cuban Sandwich: Longest Cuban Sandwich happening Sunday, July 28 at One Buc Palace in Tampa.
