Cuban Fusion 101

Today, my daughter starts to work at Alma de Cuba in Philadelphia. Yes, in the kitchen, doing pastry. Since that's what she went to school for, I think this a very good thing. She's excited and happy which makes Mom very pleased and proud.

But, what exactly is Cuban Fusion cuisine? I would guess there's a Cuban flavor. (I'm not that slow guys.) But, fusion? Fused with what? The American palate? Scary when you think about the US diet and all the burgers, fries, and pizza that are consumed. Cuban burgers? Spicy fries?

Yes, I'm making jest. I know that anything developed by Starr is far past that. I know that it has to be trendy, high quality and fabulous. Still, the term tickles my funny bone every time I think of it.

No doubt I'll learn far more than I ever hoped to know about this topic since Laura will be working there. And, that also tells me that Mom will have to check the place out the next time she's in the City of Brotherly Love. Not a bad thing since I'm always up for a new gastronomic experience.

Road trip anyone?
