Alma de Cuba, Fri., Dec. 30, 11:15am
On Philadelphia: "I come here every six weeks or so to oversee what's happening at Alma de Cuba. In Miami, where I have restaurants, we depend a lot more on tourists. Philadelphians are worldlier than the people of Miami. Palates here are more sophisticated. I have a lot of favorite Philadelphia restaurants. I really love Morimoto, the Japanese restaurant. I like Monk's, especially the burgers. Philly has 30 or 40 great restaurants. Everybody's always worried about New York, but why? Why worry about New York when you've got your own great little thing going on here?" (Interview by Cassidy Hartmann)
Douglas Rodriguez oversees two restaurants in Miami, one in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Alma de Cuba in Philadelphia. He's also the author of four cookbooks.
