Thank you for joining us and for helping make our dream a reality!

The Background In 1980’s Cuba, most people

lived in poverty, and there was a U.S. led

embargo against the country. Food rationing

was tightened, and many basic goods and

services were restricted. People who did not have

families sending money suffered, and there was

little hope in sight.

The Dream In spite of anti-American propaganda,

Renaldo “Rey” Regalado and his father, Rey Sr.,

still saw it as the land of opportunity. Rey Sr.

believed his family recipes could make Cuban

a big hit in America, and Rey Jr. wanted to open

a business. The two envisioned themselves

sharing the delectable tastes of east Cuba

to the U.S.

The Escape By 1990, Rey Jr. knew that he had to

act quickly. At great risk, he trained every day

for the approximately 5-mile swim to the safety

of the U.S. Marine base at Guantanamo Bay. A

few months later, a fisherman who also wished to

leave the country approached Rey with a

life-changing proposition: the man has access

to a boat. They devised a plan for Rey, his childhood

friend, and the fisherman’s family to make an

escape. On November 18, 1990, under the cover

of darkness and without goodbyes, the 13 refugees

went to the beach at Santiago de Cuba. They made

the harrowing 4-hour journey to freedom, huddled

in the belly of a 35-foot fishing boat that had been

“borrowed” from the Cuban government. With

nothing but the clothes on his back and his family

recipes, Rey Jr. was one step closer to the dream.

The result It took 9 years of struggle and

sacrifice before Rey saw his family again, but he

persevered. By 2002, Rey was bringing the tastes

of Cuba to Americans. He also became a proud

U.S. citizen.

Sadly, Rey Sr. died of cancer in December of 2002.

Papi’s, Spanish for “Daddy’s,” is named for, and

dedicated to Rey Sr.’s memory. It is a place for

the celebration of bravery, ambition, and most

of all, freedom.
