From a Cuban-Brazilian-Puerto Rican friendship with a shared passion for food & science, Mashed Roots is born. Bringing “mofongo”, Latin American word for mashed plantain or mashed yuca, to Cincinnati and using it to build unique food concepts that expand anyone’s cuisine experience. Guillermo Vidal -Cuban-Brazilian and Arnaldo Vazquez –Puerto Rican met 15 years ago in Cincinnati and often dreamed of bringing a bit of their culture to the Mid-West. Early in 2017 during a snowboarding trip to Canada and after making lunch a delicious mix of leftover “mofongo” and leftover “borscht” soup they decided to put that dream into action. They have taken a scientific, research-kind of approach to developing Mashed Roots experience & recipes. Quickly partnering with Findlay Kitchen to prepare and cook international foods on a bigger scale.
