“It tastes just like in Miami,” says Jenny Layton, a local biology professor. Her mother, Lisa Estes, agrees and raves about the marinated steak, part of the Puerto Rican plantain dish mofongo, the most traditional meal at Miami Fusion Cafe. “Just delicious,” Estes says.
Of course, they aren’t in Miami… or New York or Los Angeles or some other hub known as a culinary mosaic. No, this 5-month-old restaurant is in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, the heart of the Old South. To cope with increased demand, hours have expanded at the café, where Luis Delgado, its Puerto Rican chef and owner, serves up Cuban sandwiches next to Dominican-, Jamaican- and Nicaraguan-inspired dishes. “We give flavors of all the islands. We’re not a Puerto Rican restaurant — we’re a Caribbean restaurant.”
When Delgado first arrived almost a decade ago, the Miami-born Puerto Rican felt like he had to chaperone restaurant goers out of their comfort zone. “When we came into the scene, people didn’t know what an empanada or tostada was,” he explains. That’s changed drastically. But rapid growth in the restaurant scene could also present problems. Delgado worries that too much choice too quickly could scare off casual diners, leading them to retreat back to the familiar.
For Layton, it’s hard to keep up: Her list of restaurants to check out just keeps growing as her friends make more suggestions. “It’s just a really cool time in Birmingham,” she says. The table is set here — and nowadays, all are welcome.
