Havana, Cuba Trip - May 2016 | Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef

We were invited by some friends in Cuba for a quick trip and anytime we get a chance to visit Cuba, it's on. These friends needed some consulting on restaurant ideas so with what knowledge we had, we were happy to oblige.

Chef Hiro was there already, and Gustavo and Charlie went afterwards. There is always so much happening in Cuba is seems; some important, and some not so much.

For instance, Fast and the Furious 8 was being filmed in Old Havana while we where there; they were shooting 8 minutes of this movie, and had been there 3 months already. That sounds insane for such a small part of the movie but it does seem like everyone wants to be there.

Channel also held it's first ever fashion show on May 3, which we were invited to but didn't make it due to our plane being oversold. No worries though...they will be heading back to Cuba in the near future for yet another fashion show soon.

The same week we arrived, the first Carnival Cruise also docked in Old Havana. It was a very happy moment for everyone who came off the boat as well as the locals where were there to witness history.

Kim and Kanye were also there the same days we were; we didn't run into them the same way we did with Katy Perry on our first trip.

There is so much happening in Cuba now that if you get a chance to visit, don't miss the opportunity.

Thank you so much for watching and see you in our next episode...
