Every month at Cuban-style fast-casual restaurant Media Noche, a different chef is putting their own spin on traditional Cubanos. This month, Tu David Phu, an Oakland chef behind the Vietnamese pop-up Ăn and a contestant on the current Denver season of Top Chef, is making the “Chef’s Cubano,” and his creation is inspired by banh mi, with lemongrass pork belly, peppercorn chicken pate, nuoc mam aioli, pickled carrots and daikon, whole grain mustard, cucumber, jalapeno, and cilantro. He’s calling it the “E-14 Banh Mi,” and 10 percent of its sales go to Quentin Cooks, a nonprofit working for a more humane justice system.
