25 Years in the Making
Guy Fieri has dreamed of visiting Cuba since he was a teenager. After travel restrictions were lifted in early 2016, Guy's Havana dreams could finally become reality as he toured the island to film two episodes of Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Havana, Cuba
Amid the crumbling buildings and structures throughout the island is a rising restaurant scene that's bursting with opportunity for chefs and new visitors.
From Up High
Havana is the capital and largest city in Cuba and is quickly becoming tourist central as more American airlines offer direct flights into the city.
Havana Art

Tobacco Country
A woman sorts leaves at a tobacco plantation west of Havana in the Vuelta Abajo Region, a central hub for Cuba's famous cigar industry. Workers in these drying barns use a needle and thread to stitch the leaves together before hanging them to dry.
From the Plantation
There are more than 35,000 plants on this tobacco plantation Guy visits with his wife, Lori, and his parents.

A Remnant of Cuba's Past
La Catedral was originally a small, privately run family restaurant in Chef Diego Hernandez's mother's home, here, otherwise known as a paladar. Paladares were alternatives to state-run restaurants in Cuba.
