As I was spending yet another day reinstalling things back into my kitchen, I came across a match book cover torn from a book of matches from The Columbia Restaurant in Tampa’s Ybor City. This is a trademark recipe for this wonderful Cuban restaurant. If you’re ever in Tampa, please go there. They have one in St. Petersburg also, located on the historic downtown pier, but the one in Ybor City is the one to visit. The historic building and art are fantastic!
