Excellent question! Ybor City, FL near Tampa is known for its Cuban and Latin America eateries. The city was founded in 1885 and the Executive Chef for Cubanidad 1885 was heavily involved in the Cuban/Latin food scene in Florida when he first moved to the United States along with being where he really honed his culinary background.
Good question... You'd think it'd be 1886, when Cuba gained its independence from Spain..
