VIDEO: Thanksgiving Gets Spicy With Cuban Recipes

Towson Patch entered the kitchen at Havana Road Cuban Cafe to learn exotic new takes on standard holiday fare.

Towson Patch visited  to learn the secrets behind executive chef Marta Ines Quintana's family recipes. Many of the secrets, it turns out, came from her mother, Martha De Quintana, who also met with us.

In the video, they explain the steps to cook a Thanksgiving turkey, Cuban-style. They also show how to make congris stuffing.
