Chef Jorge Álvarez’s journey with ‘The Stuffed Cuban’ began when he, with the unwavering support of his wife Maxine, decided to open a Cuban food business. The idea was clear; it had to be something innovative, unique, and different.
To achieve this, he created a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to buy a Food Truck and make his dream come true. The campaign was a success. Jorge and his wife were ready to offer what they had in mind: Tostones filled with all kinds of very Cuban preparations, ropa vieja, vaca frita, arroz congrí, picadillo, roasted chicken, among others.
Their venture took a drastic, positive turn when the renowned world-class chef, Gordon Ramsay, invited them to participate in a TV show about Food Trucks, where ‘The Stuffed Cuban’ would represent South Florida.
In a show on Calle 8 in Miami, they held a blindfolded ‘flavor competition,’ where this Cuban chef prepared tostones filled with roasted pork and managed to win against Gordon Ramsay’s preparation, which was the same concept but with a British recipe of picadillo.
And so, today, thanks to Gordon Ramsay’s boost and the consistency in the quality of their creations and services, this Cuban chef is positioned as one of the best options for catering services in South Florida.
Quite an introduction, but it was necessary to set the context…
