Wow! Can't wait to see and read more about it. I had no idea the Havana Trader Vic's was still around. But regarding herding the masses and serving them sloppily poured Daiquiris, isn't that what happens all over the U.S., Tiki Ti and noted others excluded?

By the by, recently scored a Trader Vic's Habana Hilton menu containing a scrawled message from Mr. Bergeron himself wherein he calls Fidel a "dirty stinker" for tying up the rum supply!

I really hate to be a spoiler, but I've seen lots of these supposedly signed menus. I think they were mass produced and sold as souveniers. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?

It's funny that you mention you have seen a signed menu like that before. Because I have seen a TV Havana menu for sale before with that same inscription! Like, several years ago. So, unless that menu was resold.... Now I'm not saying the menu itself isn't original.

It is printed that way. I blogged it a bit ago. There is a thread around here on "I am Cuba" as well.

I have itched to go to Cuba via Cancun for years. This makes it even more of an interesting proposition...
