My CBC Radio piece about Cuban cuisine

[pedromendes]

As some of you know, I'm a producer at CBC Radio here in Canada. I usually work behind the scenes, but I also occasionally do short radio documentaries.

I was in Havana a couple of weeks ago collecting tape for a series of stories I'm doing on Cuban arts and culture. The first one hit the air last night: how the current revolution in Cuban food will change people's view of cuisine on the island.

I'll post my other pieces as they air this week and next.

Nice Pedro. I was in Cuba for my first time in April, heard all the warnings of bad food. My take on their food after the trip was done, resort food was OK, don't eat the "North American" style food like, pizza, pancakes. Resort style Cuban food was the better daily choice, but the best food on the whole trip was from street vendors. When we were in town, Verardero & Havana we lined up with the locals & ordered what they ate. In downtown Havana we had some sort of fried rice with 3 squirts of vinegar’ish stuff for 2 pesos, the best food the whole trip.

Very interesting and a good insight - thank you for sharing !

While Cafe Laurent is a top notch address and worth the visit, it is fortunate that many other Paladares are up & providing good food, service and competition for the last year or so despite the hardships.

Just hope change continues in the right track.
