Hi Sherman,

I agree totally. We cook in a lot. I am an outspoken critic of chains on this forum - but I understand why they are so prevalent. Most Villagers want food to be a bargain. I can understand that - many are on fixed incomes - and the chains can drive to lower costs. But I would prefer to eat out less (and enjoy better quality) and economize at home.

By the way - Havana can be very good - but also very un-good. I still feel they haven't gotten into a rhythm. The entertainment seems to attract more diners than they can comfortably serve in a timely fashion.
