ATLANTA’S RUNNING LOW ON CUBAN FOOD: Havana’s scrumptious Cuban sandwich

Two important closings this morning, at least temporarily: Havana Sandwich Shop, a landmark that has been serving Cuban food for over 30 years, is the victim of fire this morning. Police are still determining the cause, but the blaze appears to have started in rubbish outside the building. With a sister store now in Canton, will the owners reopen on Buford Highway? I hope so… Between Havana and Kool Korners closings, we’ve got limited options for Cuban food in the area these days.
And more rumblings at the Globe in Midtown: It will close its doors October 10. No word yet if Fifth Group, which had taken over management of the hip spot in Technology Square, will continue its relationship with the owners, Gateway Development. It’s rumored that talented chef Joshua Perkins is looking for work outside Atlanta and that the owners will reopen with a new concept after the first of the year.
Change is good? We’ll see.

Head on over to Mojito’s in Norcross for Cuban food. They have the BEST tostones I’ve had in Atlanta, and comparable to some of the best in Miami. Great family-run restaurant, and I’ve yet to have anything bad on the menu.
