FINE LATIN INSPIRED CUISINE
Relax on the patio or indoors , just to 2 minutes from the beach ! Melding tropical fare with a fine dining experience is the specialty at Black Palm Restaurant . Beautiful and delicious Latin fusion dishes that had us savoring each bite . Owned and operated by our friends Lui and Kathy Arango , this restaurant is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Florida .
What we tried EL REGALO ( Chicken and rice with veggies steamed in a banana leaf ) with seasoned pulled brisket CAFÉ CON CARNE , 8oz Angus ( Pecanespresso encrusted filet mignon served with Flash fried veggies and tortilla wrap mash ) – I can ’ t say enough about this dish , it was absolutely delicious , every bite filled with a unique and yet familiar taste that is unmatched – hands down one of my all-time favorite dishes . CHEESECAKE DE GUAVA ( Guava cheesecake on an almond-butter crust ) – YUMMY !!!

Faedo ’ s On The Go !
2012 Winners of the Cuban Sandwich Festival – Traditional Sandwich
Come Watch them defend their 2012 title @ the 2 nd Annual Cuban Sandwich Festival , Saturday March 30 th , 2013 .
Latin Times Magazine : Please tell us about how Faedo ’ s on the Go and how it came to be ? Michelle Faedo : We started Faedo ’ s on the go just as a gut feeling , like it was just what we needed to do . We had a restaurant , and the owner from the Taco Bus came to my restaurant and made us an offer to take it off of our hands . I was stunned , but we were able to get out of debt and Michelle Faedo ’ s on the Go was born . I guess it was the grace of God and this was the path we were meant to take .
Latin Times Magazine : Please tell us about your family ? Michelle Faedo : Everything I do is for my family . My husband and I work together and we have three gorgeous daughters . If it was not for the encouragement of my husband , I don ’ t think I would be the person that you see today . He brings out the best in me . All I have in this world is my husband and my three girls and my wonderful mother-in-law , Carmen Faedo . Without her I would be lost . My family is my life and I ’ m very lucky to have each and every one of them .
Latin Times Magazine : Please tell me about why your Cuban Sandwich won the best Traditional Cuban Sandwich contest ? Michelle Faedo : My
Cuban won because it is the best . Look , you can find a Cuban on every corner in Tampa Bay and much of Florida , but the key is quality and love for everything I do . Without quality ingredients and the best of everything that goes into that Cuban sandwich , you won ’ t have the best product possible .
