Raúl Musibay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raúl Musibay (b. in Cayo la Rosa, near Bauta in the province of Havana, Cuba) is a chef and internet entrepreneur.

Musibay was a Cuban political prisoner who was arrested by the Cuban government for belonging to an outlawed political organization^[1]. Pressure from international human rights organizations led to his release to Spain in 1979. Musibay was allowed entrance to the United States that same year^[2]. He became involved in preserving Cuban culture in North America through his writings and his work in developing Cuban cuisine.

Musibay is a member of the Three Guys From Miami and is known for his elaborate Cuban-style pigroasts and has taught this art to hundreds of people all over the world. With his two brothers-in-law, he runs the Cuban website, The Internet Cuban. The three chefs and authors have made several appearances on the cable television channel Food Network^[3]. The Three Guys From Miami are authors of the books "Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban" ISBN 1-58685-433-X, and "Three Guys From Miami Celebrate Cuban" ISBN 1-4236-0063-0.
