COVER STORY | FROM CANVAS TO CAFÉ
There is no doubting that Cuban-born Jorge Zamorano is a passionate man. The proof is in his Banana Café, which this year marks its 15th anniversary of giving Washingtonians a warm celebration of "Nuevo Latino" cuisine in a casually caliente setting and in his soulful paintings, some of which hang in the restaurant. Meet the man whose restaurants bring great food, exuberance and a dash of piano-bar flair to Capitol Hill.
