Pepe and I have been missing the beach lately and decided to dedicate a night to Cuba. Full disclosure, we are not even remotely Cuban and the night consisted of Netflix and listening to Harry Belafonte (who isn't even Cuban)... Everything turned out well but I'm sure nothing was very authentic! I unfortunately forgot to get plantains; fried up slices of those gigantic banana-things would have been awesome on the side.
