Tampa has seen plenty of collaborations, but most of them involve someone saying \u201clet\u2019s grab coffee sometime\u201d and then never speaking again. This one is real, edible, and aggressively Tampa: Bern\u2019s Steak House has teamed up with La Segunda Bakery for a limited-time steak sandwich as part of Bern\u2019s 70th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n

The sandwich is available now through March 7 at three La Segunda locations, including Ybor City (2512 N. 15th St), Kennedy (4015 W. Kennedy Blvd), and St. Pete (2424 4th St N), which means you can get a bite of Bern\u2019s without booking a reservation three months in advance and offering your firstborn as a deposit. Bern\u2019s home base is in South Tampa (1208 S Howard Ave), but for one week only, its ribeye is going on a field trip. These sandwiches have been selling out quickly each day, so you\u2019ll want to arrive early.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the setup: La Segunda\u2019s signature Cuban bread gets layered with truffle sauce, thinly shaved Bern\u2019s sliced ribeye, Bern\u2019s proprietary cheese blend, caramelized onions, and fresh arugula. In other words, it\u2019s a steak sandwich that somehow manages to feel both nostalgic and slightly dangerous, like your grandparents\u2019 \u201csimple dinner\u201d that secretly contains three kinds of fat and a plot twist.<\/p>\n

The whole thing nods to Bern\u2019s earliest menu, which is a smart move because Tampa loves a legacy story almost as much as it loves pretending it will \u201cjust have half\u201d of something delicious. La Segunda, established in 1915, has been feeding the city for more than a century, and Bern\u2019s has spent 70 years turning special occasions into full-blown events. Putting them together is basically a civic holiday you can hold in one hand.<\/p>\n

Bern\u2019s owner and president David Laxer summed up the vibe neatly: \u201cCollaborating on an unforgettable steak sandwich feels like the perfect way to begin our 70th anniversary year.\u201d If you read that in a warm, diplomatic tone, it\u2019s sweet. If you read it in a slightly competitive tone, it\u2019s also a warning to every other sandwich in town.<\/p>\n

The best part is the simplicity. No complicated rules. No secret password. Just show up now until March 7, order the special, and enjoy a meeting of two local family traditions in a single bite. Go early, bring a friend, and accept that you will immediately start planning who else needs to try it, because that\u2019s how these things work.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tampa has seen plenty of collaborations, but most of them involve someone saying \u201clet\u2019s grab coffee sometime\u201d and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176972,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":{"0":"post-176971","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa","8":"tag-tampa","9":"tag-tampa-headlines","10":"tag-tampa-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
