The Salty Cubana Rubs
RITA GREW UP RIGHT OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN MIAMI, A STONE’S THROW AWAY FROM LITTLE HAVANA AND THE FAMOUS CALLE OCHO. WHILE IN GAINESVILLE, FL AT UNIVERSITY, SHE VISITED AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SOUTH AND ITS AFFINITY FOR BUTTER. IN 2014, SHE LEFT THE CAPITAL OF SOUTH AMERICA AND MOVED FURTHER NORTH (OR DEEPER SOUTH, DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK) TO NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, AND TRADED IN HER BLACK BEANS AND RICE FOR BOURBON AND BISCUITS.
