CHEF’S CHOICE

BISTRO CUBANO

The Classic Cuban Origins of the classic sandwich

T

By Active Media Staff

he origins of the Cuban sandwich, also known as a “Cuban mix” or “Cubano,” are unclear due to the frequent travel between Cuba and Florida in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Cubans moved back and forth for work, pleasure, and family visits, leading to a blend of cultures and ideas. The sandwich’s exact origin remains undocumented, with some speculating it was a common lunch choice for workers in Cuban cigar factories and sugar mills by the 1860s.

Historian Loy Glenn Westfall suggests that the Cuban sandwich was “born in Cuba and educated in Key West.”

The shift of the cigar industry to Tampa in the mid-1880s, particularly in Ybor City, played a crucial role in the sandwich’s development. The first recorded mentions of the distinct Cuban sandwich date back to workers’ cafés in Ybor City and West Tampa around 1900, solidifying the theory that the sandwich originated in this area.

As Tampa grew from a village to a bustling city, Cuban sandwiches became part of its culinary identity. By the 1960s, the sandwich had spread to Miami, fueled by an influx of Cuban residents following Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959. The Cuban Revolution led to a wave of Cuban expatriates settling in various locations, bringing their culture and cuisine, including the iconic Cuban sandwich, to places like New York City, New Jersey, Chicago and Puerto Rico.

A classic Cuban staple, the Cuban sandwich is a flavorpacked delight featuring roasted pork, sweet ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles and yellow mustard. This delectable combination is pressed on a hot skillet to melt the cheese and infuse the sandwich with its memorable flavor. The artful blend of ingredients and the distinctive press create a culinary experience that has become a cherished tradition in Cuban communities and beyond.

For an authentic taste of the Classic Cuban, visit Bistro Cubano Caribbean Cuisine in Oregon City, OR, where the rich heritage of this iconic sandwich comes to life in every bite.

Clearing the Air Northwest Breeze remains Oregon’s top-rated air duct cleaner

By Dennis McNabb, Staff Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter oxic pollutants are everywhere, especially in the air we breathe outside and even inside our homes.

Surprisingly, studies have shown that the air inside is two to five times more polluted than the air outside!

And since Americans, on average, spend 90% of our time indoors, our immune systems are constantly at war with our environment. Our homes can accumulate as much as 40 pounds of debris within our HVAC systems every year, and that’s for households with no pets! The Science Advisory Board has actually gone on record stating that indoor air pollution is one of the top five environmental risks to public health.

What does all of this mean to homeowners? It means it’s an absolute imperative to follow the Environmental Protection Agency’s guidelines and schedule your air ducts to be cleaned at least once every three to five years. And when it comes to the cleaning and maintenance of your HVAC system, there is no one better in the Willamette Valley and Portland area than Google’s top-rated air duct cleaners, Northwest Breeze.

Northwest Breeze absolutely guarantees the work they do, employing the usage of a Negative Air Vacuum, a complex system that uses a compressed-air blower to clear the ducts while a vacuum simultaneously traps the hazardous particles and then releases them outside your home.. Their method is the only one on the market, in fact, which cleans the entire HVAC

system effectively and without damaging the ducts. Whether cleaning your cold air returns, supply vents, furnace burners, outdoor A/C units and coils, or dryer vents, they use all of the most effective, efficient tools and methods in the industry.

In addition to all of the health hazards you may be facing due to the air pollution in your home, clogged vents and filters can reduce airflow and cause your HVAC system to work harder just to maintain your ambient temperature. It cuts back on the efficiency and longevity of your system. In order to protect both your family’s health and what is likely your largest investment — your home — start taking regular care of your HVAC system today. It’s time to do your spring cleaning anyway, so there’s no better time than the present. Don’t neglect for another day, one of the most important aspects of that process.

Northwest Breeze is a locally-owned and -operated business with strong ties to the community. Among other things, they are proud participants in the annual PNW Toy Drive for Randall’s Children’s Hospital. Support your family’s health while supporting local businesses.

When a vehicle is donated to Portland Rescue Mission’s Drive Away Hunger program our staff will work alongside program participants to ensure that the car can pass a 70-point safety inspection.

HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF COFFEE

The Humble Bean to Bold Beverage From 9th century North Africa to your local cafe

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

A

s rain falls from the skies of the Pacific Northwest, so too does coffee pour into the cups of local residents adding pep to their step and steamy, warm, comfort to lift the spirits. But where did coffee come from in the first place, and just how did it become one of the most popular beverages around the world?

While no one can definitively pinpoint precisely when coffee was invented, nor the name of the first person to roast coffee beans, grind them, and mix them with water, historians agree that coffee originated in the areas of modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen.

Legend tells of a 9th century goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed that his goats, after eating coffee berries, became so energetic that they barely slept all night. Kaldi reported his discovery to the abbot of a local monastery who brewed a drink with the berries which increased alertness for the monks through their long hours of evening prayers. It wasn’t long before word spread to the nearby Arabian Peninsula of the miraculous drink, and traders R12 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

eventually Clement himself, after tasting the new beverage, introduced found it pleasing. Instead of banning coffee, he coffee bestowed his blessing upon the drink. With the throughout Pope’s blessing, the green light went on for coffee the region. throughout Christendom.

Illustration of Kaldi While As for the Americas, coffee crossed the Kaldi and the coffee drinking monks are Atlantic in the 17th and 18th centuries from anything but a historical fact, it is known Europe. In North America, coffee arrived in the for certain that by the 15th century, New World from the British via New Amsterdam coffee houses had spread throughout the — later renamed New York by the American Near East. From Turkey to Egypt, these colonists. One event in particular that served establishments became not only places as the impetus for coffee culture in the United to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, but popular States was the tax on tea levied on the colonists spots to socialize, listen to music, play

by King George games, and learn of current events.

III. The subsequent As for Europe, historians point to Boston Tea Party that the Siege of Vienna by the Turks in 1683 erupted as a result as one of the key events instrumental of this tax spurred in the spread of coffee to the West. In many Americans to the aftermath of the war, coffee from abandon tea for coffee, the Turks made its way to Viennese to the point that locals who became enamored with the Thomas Jefferson later new beverage. As time passed, coffee proclaimed coffee as houses emerged not only in Vienna, but “the favorite drink of throughout Austria and neighboring the civilized world.” countries as well. It is the Austrians who The Caribbean, are credited with the addition of milk Central, and South and sugar to coffee.

America owe their Around the same time, the beverage coffee industry to a young French naval officer, Gabriel also arrived in Italy, likely through Venetian traders who ranged throughout de Clieu, who smuggled a seedling from a coffee plant in the Middle East and North Africa. the Royal Botanical Garden in While coffee provoked suspicion in Paris (the plant had been a gift from some, such as the advisors of Pope the Mayor of Amsterdam to King Louis Clement VIII who went so far as to XIV) and transported it across the Atlantic call it the “bitter invention of Satan,”

to the island of Martinique, despite attempts by a saboteur to kill the plant, an attack by pirates, and severe storms at sea. This hardy seedling went on to parent all the coffee trees cultivated throughout this part of the world — a region that has become one of the premier coffee production areas on the planet.

Brazil’s famous coffee owes its start to Francisco de Melo Palheta, who was dispatched by the governor of Brazil to help mediate a conflict between neighboring French and Dutch Guiana.

Arriving in Cayenne, the capital city of French Guiana, part of Palheta’s mission was to smuggle some coffee plants which were closely guarded by the French. As the story goes, a romantic dalliance between Palheta and the wife of the Governor of Cayenne led to her passing a bouquet to a Brazilian officer containing a coffee seedling concealed among the flowers. This seedling was supposedly the progenitor of Brazil’s coffee industry. Whether the romantic part of the story is true or not, it is documented that Palheta was successful in bringing thousands of coffee seeds and several plants back to Brazil.

Gabriel de Clieu By the 18th century, coffee had grown to be one of the world’s most profitable commodities.

Consumption and popularity in the U.S. grew, particularly during the Civil War, and enterprising businessmen such as brothers John and Charles Arbuckle grew wealthy selling pre-roasted coffee by the pound to cowboys in the West. James Folger, who peddled coffee to gold miners in California, also profited greatly. Big name coffee brands including Maxwell House and Hills Brothers quickly followed suit.

Following World War II, instant coffee was developed, simplifying the coffee-making process, though not necessarily improving the flavor. With the emergence of Starbucks in Seattle in 1971, the quality of coffee available to the consumer improved through better sourcing and preparation techniques.

Consistent, quality coffee became available to people across America, with beverages tailored specifically to the palate of each individual customer.

Today, the coffee revolution has evolved. Small, independently owned coffee shops are taking it to

the next level. A focus on sustainability, local roasting, and fair trade beans are at the forefront of the new movement. Sourcing, roasting techniques, and brewing methods are all aspects of the equation that today’s coffee entrepreneurs are relentlessly improving in their drive to bring the highest quality coffee to market.

So, the next time you’re enjoying a steaming coffee beverage — whether it be a latte, mocha, cold brew, espresso, or just a plain old cup of Joe — know that the history behind the humble coffee bean, and its evolution through time, was a long and arduous journey filled with lively characters, distant places, and enterprising individuals who treasured this miraculous bean of the tropics.

MEET THE ARTIST

ISABEAU WAIA’U WALKER

From Teacher to Full-Time Musician ‘Bright gloom’ indie music makes lasting impression

I

By Dennis McNabb, Staff Writer

sabeau Waia’u Walker is all of those things and so much more, all wrapped up in one perfectly imperfect package.

Born in California and raised in Hawaii as a Kanaka Maoli wahine (Native Hawaiian woman), where her family returned to shortly after she was born. She moved “temporarily” to Oregon to attend Warner Pacific University, but fell so deeply in love with the local community she never left. It’s a fortunate turn of events for us, because after a lifetime of considering her talents to be avocational, she recently retired from teaching to commit full-time to the pursuit of her passion: music.

A ubiquitous presence in her life since childhood, music was, and is, simply an integral part of Isabeau’s Photo by Mary Putulin identity. It’s a key aspect of her culture. It’s in her blood. Her entire family sings and/or plays an instrument, and those songs that they “performed” during family gatherings not only planted the seeds of her inspiration, but also helped to inform and develop her unique sound. Make no mistake, Isabeau has “arrived.” One listen to her most recent output will quell any doubts about that.

Much like the legendary “Road to Hana,” it has been a long and windy road.

Tentative steps were initially taken in the early 2000s. Isabeau recorded an EP, but the songs were experimental, a little rough by her current standards, and she had yet to find her voice. A second EP followed a few years later. That one was better, but still more of a learning experience than an actual representation of who she is as an artist. It wasn’t until 2020, when she put out her 3rd EP and first official release, entitled “Better Metric,” that she discovered her sound. To announce her arrival in grand fashion, her track, “Woman” from that EP made OPB’s list of top songs in 2020.

Of course, COVID hit at the same time and all of her plans to tour and promote the album were instantly scrapped. That could have derailed a lesser creative, but instead she utilized that time

10 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

to write and record her “first full length, “The Body,” which came out in May of 2022. A highly personal and emotional album, the songs on this one delve deep into what it means to be a woman, to reconnect with the physical body as well as the spiritual and to embrace every facet of what that entails. Taken directly from her journal, her lyrics provide a window into the soul of an incredible woman and an amazing artist.

To paraphrase from her website, Isabeau is “bright gloom.”

Her songs are “soothing and soft while powerful.” They are “accessible while complex,” “sweet [while] aching.” There is a duality that reverberates through the layers of her music which brings such tension and depth that it invites repeated listenings for full digestion. Beautiful and devastating, her haunting and ethereal voice makes a lasting impression, no small feat in today’s musical landscape. And this is just the beginning. With the support of her producer, Ryan Oxford, and manager, Dan Cable, Isabeau has returned to the studio and began recording her second full-length album. She also has a crowdfunding campaign—to support paying the artists involved—launching next month.

Do yourself a favor and seek out this local rising star. You can stream her music on Spotify, follow her on Instagram @ beaubeaubarina, or watch her amazing collection of videos on Youtube. If you want to support the cause, you can find her on Patreon.com\Isabeau. And don’t forget to watch her live shows! She performs both as a solo act and also with the band, Y La Bamba.
