BODEGA MI SUENO (Cuban Cuisine) | PAELLA REVIEW| Louisville, Kentucky

Come along as I discover a hidden Cuban treasure right here in Louisville, KY. Check out a Spanish delicacy I devour called Paella. Family owned and operated. Support local!!

[@parmenides130e]

Nice to see you doing some Cuban spots! Couple of food notes: Yuca is Cassava root and the flour from it is used to make both tapioca and boba. The fried rice you had is the Cuban take on Chinese egg-fried rice -- Havana used to have the second largest Chinatown in the Western Hemisphere (only the one in San Francisco was bigger) and to this day Cuban's are still wild about fried rice. Your buddy's "brown rice" is something called congri which is white rice cooked in the broth of soupy black beans which turns the rice that dark color. The meat he got is almost certainly ropa vieja (or "old clothes" because of the shredded texture). It's shredded beef cooked in a tomato base called sofrito. Plantains are related to bananas (they're the big honking banana looking things that you passed in the bodega) -- if you cook them when they're ripe they're sweet and if you cook them when they're green they're savory. The little match-stick potatoes Ryan got with the sammy are the classic cuban take on fries. Great review and, again, awesome that you're featuring a Cuban place! ¡Buen provecho!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you for the education. This place was awesome. Makes me want to vacation in Havana.

[@Bebe777333]

I love the group "Journey". Their songs from the '80s were awesome! One of my favorite is "Open Arms".

[@KeepItCoolWithSheets4]

I would offer to sing it sometime, but it would only do injustice. I've got nothing to hide, believe what I said.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

My favorite group of all time.

[@user-kb1mu1wf5d]

Great video Barry. Good to see Ryan back on the review circuit. I'm with you, everything in the case looked delicious. Keep it up guys.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you!

[@b-genspinster7895]

Thanks for a great review. I never developed a taste for plantains but they sure looked good.

[@DeborahBrown-tj7wx]

I live in the Highlands and cut through Mall Rd all the time but have never noticed this place lol. Will definitely have to stop and try some of those awesome dishes.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I can’t believe more Gringos don’t know about this place? It’s incredible!

[@Old_Timer66]

Man Barry where do you start in that place! That was the most mouthwatering place that you have been to. I watched this at the rehab hospital where my 90 year old mother-in-law is at. I started chuckling actually I was laughing. Natural noise of munching down the blue crab and I was waiting for a seagull sound and it happened! It all looked delicious. I had beef tongue street tacos last night and I was throwing out double snapping turtles of my own. As always it was great seeing our friend Ryan and the eclaires he got looked to good to eat! Thanks buddy great watching you guys as always!!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you. Glad I could get you chuckling. The food was outstanding! Well wishes for your mother in law.

[@lewisoneal3987]

I have eaten there several times and everything is good. I can't pronounce some the items on the menu but I sure can recommend anyone looking to grab a really good. Plate lunch that you could eat on later in the day. To stop by you will not be disappointed. Great review as always.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you! Love this place.

Nice steam shovel scoop on that shredded beef by Ryan! Didn't that paella need some hot sauce? Surprised you hung with the mafia back in the day Barry! Well you made me hungry again!! Thanks!

I am from the NYC area, but I must say that Louisville has it going on, particularly when it comes to food. You have put the food from Louisville on the map.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

That’s definitely a great compliment. Thank you!

[@eci2620]

I am glad you enjoyed Cuban food! Just for your info: (Español) -Barbacoa/Ropa Vieja -Yuca/Cassava (not a potato at all). -Brown Fried Rice/Arroz Moro or Congrí -Paella is definitely a Spanish dish, but there are some variations out there. Hey, you did good👍

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I did the best I could. Ignorance is bliss!!

Barry, You never cease to amaze me and bring out the laughter in me. You’re one of a kind. I sometimes I wonder how you don’t chip or crack a tooth, especially the big bones & shell. I had to get a crown bitting into an English Muffin! lol… I would try something there. It’s a compliment saying this was one of the best. Glad to see Ryan with you today. I like the animal sounds so turn it up higher for those trolls! The ending with your beautiful pup was hilarious!

That’s a double snapping error! OPPs, sorry

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

You’re going to love the review coming out tomorrow. Barry & Ryan extravaganza!

[@SandmanFightingSys]

Best way to recognize an awesome restaurant, deli etc that serves cuisine other than American is to look for the establishment that has a lot of people of that ethnicity. When I pass by a Mexican , Chinese , Cuban etc restaurant I always stop at those that are full of the same ethnicity even if I’m the only country boy gringo in there. If a Cuban restaurant is full of Cubans or other Hispanic people, it’s authentic and awesome… I don’t hesitate to stop.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Right on. You know how it’s done!

[@Bebe777333]

I agree!

[@Randy-cv8wo]

This Bodega MI SUENO will be added to our date night list.

Also I forgot, usually that pork is sometimes referred to as “mojo pork” pronounced “moho” . I myself still call it MO Joe because that stuff puts a spell on me when done correctly lol

I was at Sally’s next door and saw you all in the parking lot! My friend and I were in a time crunch or else I would’ve given a holler - regret it a little bit because I would’ve crashed and gotten several tamales 😂

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Awe, you should have stopped.

[@aliceinoz1289]

I've been binge watching your videos. I now have a dozen places on my "must try" list. Thanks for doing this. When you said you were going to smash your mortedella, did you mean literally or was that slang for eat? Curious if you were smashing it, what you were making.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Slang for eating a lot of it. Thank you so much for watching!

[@Imthecoach1]

Thanks for another great vid and recommendation! Have you tried Barcelona Bistro in jtown?

They give you the option to get the paella crispy there. It’s amazing

[@glassofwater-tx1iq]

I’m from nyc and all our Cubans left a long time ago for Miami. I miss all the spots from the old days and I’m so jealous that Louisville is the jam now for that type of food. That never ending line of huge roast pork shoulders with all the crispy skin was dreamy.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Louisville is rich in the international food scene.

If you are doing cuban places, try Havana Bakery Cafe on Fern Valley and Shepherdsville rd. We need a Colombian place around here

If the cooks in the kitchen son cubanos then it’s a true Cuban restaurant

[@joannsanchez6609]

The food looks delicious ! But it doesn't look like Cuban but more Puerto Rican. Bodega Mi Sueno... Winery my dream . The sandwich Ryan was having would be in Cuban, sándwich de medianoche... midnight sandwich, it appeared to be on sweet bread and toasted, A cuban sandwich , sándwich de cubano wouldn't be toasted and would be on Cuban bread. Would like to see more of the pastries (pasteles). Will have to go check the place out. Didn't see you have any plátanos fritos, no Cuban restaurant would be without them or papas fritas and croquetas.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I had plantains with my Paella.

[@MIAMI420LOKO]

I think Google has given you incorrect information. Bodega mi sueño doesn’t mean Whinery, it’s means little store of my dreams.

[@MIAMI420LOKO]

What he had was not una medianoche(no Cuban sandwich is call a “sandwich de”), it was a version of un Cubano(again, not sandwiche de Cubano). A Cubano is ABSOLUTELY pressed and heated on la plancha, if it’s not then it’s not a Cuban. Only thing they did differently was they added mayonnaise, left out the pickles and mustard and didn’t cut it on a hard biased angle. Oh and the pastries you are thinking about are not called pasteles, they are called pastelitos.

Oh and please don’t ever say that We speak “Cuban” lol We speak Spanish

Does Ryan not like mustard? That’s the usual condiment for a Cuban.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

We didn’t know any better.

[@KeepItCoolWithSheets4]

I do like mustard, I have had with Mayo and mustard. I think it was a Puerto Rican restaurant where they gave me an orange colored sauce for dipping, turns out it was just Mayo and ketchup

[@tico4940]

Paella isnt what your eating,thats a cuban version but should always be served with the proper rice and cooking technique,but still good eats.head on shrimp deliver the flavor,just like fish heads,the oils etc are in the head.Learned that from the Owner of Japan Airlines in late 70s when I worked at Yes Bay Lodge in Alaska and he flew his pilots out for some fishing,had us make a salmon head stew or broth,was tasty but differnt.

because of the straining results of communism, they dont have all the ingredients like we have, here in the USA. . i worked at an auto manufacturer in the east end , and alot of my co workers was cuban, one guy i did a favor for, he brought me a pie/cake but it was completely flay with no yeast, back in Cuba it was a favorite, and later a lady explained that they dont have all the ingredients that we have here in USA.

[@eddie5152]

That’s crappy paella. Paella was invented in Spain. The uniqueness of the dish is having a crispy bottom with fluffy soft rice in middle.. most Latin American countries and even Portugal bastardized the dish. They make yellow rice and throw seafood in it and call it paella. That’s not paella. Their is unique way of making it as I mentioned before.
