Inspired by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro,’ a New York restaurant missteps in Miami

Miami Herald

Café Habana, which has locations in New York City, Malibu, Calif., and Tokyo, intends to open a location in downtown Miami. Its origin story honors Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. CAFÉ HABANA WEBSITE A Mexican hangout where the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Che Guevara plotted the Cuban revolution is the inspiration behind a New York City restaurant opening a location soon in Miami.

Miami is having a problem with this.

Café Habana, set to open in Miami in the Spring of 2022, according to its website, opened its first location inside a converted New York diner in 1997. The concept is a fusion of Cuban and Mexican cuisine — with a backstory rooted in communist revolutionary lore. Miami voter's party affiliation was changed from Democrat to Republican with no consent

[h]“Inspired by a storied Mexico City hangout, where legend has it Che Guevara and Fidel Castro plotted the Cuban Revolution, the flagship Café Habana location was created out of an old-school New York diner in 1997. Eighteen years later, Café Habana remains an institution…” read a description on the restaurant’s website until this week.

Perhaps Cafe Mao is their next venture. Taiwan always can use a good diner.

Should go over big with the crowd AOC hangs out with at that ghey Miami drag bar since Che Guevara was a notorious homophobe.

To be fair, there are probably many Afghan restaurants in NYC. Maybe even featuring Bomber sandwiches.

I never heard of a stupider idea in my entire life...

Miami is the Cuban exiles stronghold of the universe...

They recruited most of the bay of pigs mercenaries / freedom fighters from Miami and the closer Florida areas around Miami of Cuban exiles...

It will get bombed within 4 weeks of opening...
