Louie Estrada of My Cuban Spot on bringing his real Cuban cooking to Brooklyn
Louie Estrada left Miami for New York knowing that he wanted to make his mark by starting a business of his own. After years picking up experience working in restaurants, bars and clubs, he planted his flag in a tiny corner of Brooklyn. From the roughly 150-square-foot kitchen at My Cuban Spot, Louie’s been cranking out Cuban classics the city’s Cubans were sorely missing at a level of quality that’s earned him a following even in lechón-saturated South Florida.
Louie joined Mike at Ariete to record this conversation about his food, his career, and his plans to bring My Cuban Spot back home with him to Miami.
Also, in the Patreon-only extended cut of this episode, Louie lays out his preferences on pastelitos, coffee, doughnuts and more.
