Big trouble in Little Havana
October 30th, 2009 by Jennifer Zyman in Restaurants
There have been conflicting reports of where and when Havana will resurface. Apparently, two restaurants named Havana are slated to open on Buford Highway in the near future. And two different people — Debbie Benedit and William Benedit — claim they are resurrecting the original “Havana.”
Mrs. Benedit (pictured above in the black shirt) has given me her side of the story. However, I have been unable to reach Mr. Benedit for a comment at this time.
Stay tuned as I gather additional facts and get to the bottom of this.
