20 years ago the Three Guys from Miami came together for the first time.

The occasion? Jorge's wedding in Iowa City, Iowa.

It all happened over Thanksgiving weekend in 1983.

The best way to get a good pig for your pigroast. The Three Guys admire "pork on the hoof" at an Iowa farm.

We proved that the black beans and rice CAN taste just as good in Iowa as they do in Miami!

We go the whole hog and butcher our own pig.

Raúl and two of Jorge's nieces were the only members of the Miami family who could afford to fly up for the big event.

"You have to remember that at that time the Castillo and Musibay families had only lived in the United States for a few years and money was tight," says Jorge. "Raúl's English wasn't the greatest and he needed his daughter and her cousin along just to help him translate."

Raúl didn't come empty handed. He brought a "care package" filled with Cuban food from Miami, including a small pork leg prepared Cuban style.

"I first met Raúl in the kitchen at Jorge's house the night before Thanksgiving and we immediately hit it off," Glenn says. "Raúl has a great, good-natured sense of humor, a true love of life, a hearty appetite for good food and a great party."

Raúl found in Glenn a guy who shared his love of fishing, who loved to joke and most of all loved good food in abundance. With each bite of Cuban food, a strange transformation began. Little by little Glenn's formerly Swedish body was being taken over by pure Cubanismo.

"Within a year, I would have pure mojo flowing through my veins," Glenn adds.

"Glenn has what we called in Cuba 'chispa' -- a certain spark," says Raúl. "We became fast friends, helped along by our mutual love of Cuban food. Over the years Glenn has become more and more Cuban."

The following summer Glenn flew to Miami to meet Jorge's extended family. As soon as he got off the plane, he realized he was in a different world.
