MACONDO ROASTERS KENDALL: DE LA IMAGINACIÒN A LA REALIDAD!

En 1883 la empresa inmobiliaria Florida Land & Mortgage Company, le compró al estado de la Florida una gran  porción de terreno limitado por la US-1, Snapper Creek, los Everglades y Old Cutler Rock, con la idea de desarrollarla inmobiliariamente y convertirla en buen lugar para vivir y trabajar.

Sin embargo los terrenos no estaban habilitados para permitir la construcción de viviendas por lo que el director de la compañía, John Broughton Kendall, tuvo que trasladarse al lugar para iniciar lo que nunca imaginó que sería esta gran comunidad, que solo en su parte central cuenta con más de 80 mil habitantes que gozan de una infraestructura envidiable para levantar a sus familias y tener un buen nivel de vida.

Sin duda alguna, la prosperidad económica de la ciudad se nota en sus centros comerciales, sus edificios, sus amplias avenidas, y los grandes parques y escuelas.

En uno de nuestros recorridos por la acogedora Kendall y en busca de un verdadero café para reanimar los sentidos, tuvimos la grata sorpresa de encontrar uno de los pocos lugares en los que la cultura cafetera viaja desde las templadas regiones donde se cultiva el mejor café del mundo y le permite a centenares de expertos y no expertos, degustar la bebida más popular del mundo con la excelencia de la mejor preparación y en un ambiente incomparable, MACONDO ROASTERS.

Más de cien años tuvieron que esperar los residentes de Kendall para la llegada de MACONDO ROASTERS al 13021 SW 88th Street, ofreciendo su saludable y variado menú en el que por supuesto el protagonista es el café. Basta con entrar a la tienda para estar inmerso en un ambiente puramente cafetero en el que las flores, los costales de café, la decoración y el aroma nos llevan de la imaginación a la realidad de una bebida exquisita.

MACONDO ROASTERS KENDALL: DE LA IMAGINACIÒN A LA REALIDAD!

Los amantes de la literatura y también aquellos que no lo son, tienen en su mente el nombre de Macondo relacionado de inmediato con elementos y personajes muy significativos de Colombia como lo son García Márquez, cien años de soledad, el pequeño pueblo de Aracataca y las misteriosas mariposas amarillas que acompañaban la visita romántica que le hacía Mauricio Babilonia, un joven aprendiz de mecánico, a Renata Remedios Buendía (A quien llamaban Meme en la novela).

Cuenta el autor que cada vez que Mauricio visitaba a Meme, la casa de los Buendía se llenaba de Mariposas amarillas que misteriosamente aparecían incluso antes de que el enamorado llegara y permanecían hasta después de que se iba. Aunque el nombre de Macondo es producto de la creatividad literaria,  la anécdota de las mariposas proviene de un recuerdo de infancia que el propio García Márquez contó a la revista italiana Época por allá en 1979.

“La historia del personaje atormentado por las mariposas amarillas fue tomada de un episodio de mi infancia”, le dijo al periodista Peter Stone de Época. “Un día vi a mi abuela tratando de exterminar mariposas con un aparato lleno de insecticida. En ese tiempo había un electricista que iba a casa a menudo y me despertaba curiosidad el cinto especial con el que se suspendía del poste que llevaba los cables eléctricos. La abuela me decía que cada vez que salía de casa este hombre todo el ambiente se llenaba de mariposas”.

En el recuerdo de Gabo, sin embargo, los insectos que revoloteaban eran de color blanco. El detalle de que fueran amarillos lo introdujo durante la escritura de Cien años de soledad como un recurso útil a la verosimilitud del relato. “Cuando convertí el episodio en literatura comprendí que nadie lo hubiese creído si no hubiese precisado que las mariposas eran amarillas”, le dijo a Época.

El nombre de “Macondo” no es nuevo en “Cien Años de Soledad”, en su primera novela, “La Hojarasca” publicada en 1955 y escrita en 1949, Macondo existía en la mente creativa del autor. En “Cien Años de Soledad” el pueblo se menciona nuevamente y todo el mundo literario coincide en que es una clara alusión a su pueblo natal, Aracataca, ubicado a unas 50 millas de Santa Marta en el Caribe colombiano. Preguntado sobre tan curioso nombre, el autor respondió a un cercano amigo que Macondo es sinónimo de Caribe, mariposas amarillas y sobre todo de realismo mágico.

Toda esta deliciosa referencia literaria ha sido evocada para entender por qué Fabio Caro, propietario de Macondo Roasters en Estados Unidos, le puso este nombre a su cadena de tiendas que cada día es más y más visitada por personas que buscan algo diferente dentro de la gran oferta gastronómica de ciudades como Miami, Tampa, Coral Gables, North Miami y  Kendall. 

Sin haber hablado con Fabio sobre el nombre “Macondo”, pero habiendo disfrutado del menú en más de una ocasión, me atrevo a decir que Macondo Roasters es lo más cercano al realismo mágico. Macondo Roasters hace honor al producto colombiano de mayor reconocimiento mundial, al mejor café del mundo cosechado y procesado en las verdes cordilleras colombianas, pero tostado y manejado hasta la tasa en la propia tienda Macondo, frente a sus clientes.

Algo con lo que los amantes del café soñamos siempre, es sentir el aroma del café desde la tostiòn, que es el proceso realizado para resaltar las cualidades sensoriales y nutracèuticas, valga decir cualidades para los sentidos y además beneficios fisiológicos, pero pocas veces podemos hacerlo ya que el 99% de la oferta cafetera se hace con producto procesado y almacenado por tiempo indeterminado, lo que termina afectando la calidad de la codiciada bebida.

Ese realismo mágico se produce en Macondo Roasters todo el tiempo y los asiduos clientes disfrutan de la mística cafetera que impregna cada uno de los restaurantes y de sus platos verdaderamente especiales.

UNA MIRADA AL MENÙ    

Sin duda alguna, la intención del creador de estos momentos especiales en Macondo, fue la de alejarse de la tradicional oferta gastronómica que, sin dejar de ser deliciosa y atractiva, básicamente es la misma en todas partes, llevando a propios y extraños a creer que en Colombia solo se comen frijoles con chicharrón, sancocho y chuleta valluna.

También en Kendall, Macondo Roasters decidió agregar la mística cafetera a su oferta gastronómica con platos que deleitan desde las primeras horas del día hasta la tarde. Los desayunos son variados y sus nombres invitan a probarlos en cada ocasión, por ejemplo que tal un “Iron Man” para un domingo en la mañana cuando hay que recuperar fuerzas. O el Fabio’s Favorite que hace honor al propietario y para que se den una idea del gusto que se van a dar, les cuento que tiene, dos huevos fritos, baguette tostado, espinaca, aguacate, queso feta, tomatillos y salsa pesto. Después de esto, sin duda alguna, la jornada será más fácil.

La línea de sándwiches es muy completa así como los “bowls” en los que destacamos el mediterráneo y el de salmón. Para los veganos también hay muy buenos platos y no pueden dejar de probar las arepas de zanahoria, quinina y avena.

El menú es amplio, variado y sobre todo fresco y muy saludable. Como dijimos al comienzo, es un despliegue de realismo mágico que hace sentir mariposas amarillas revoloteando en todas partes en medio de un ambiente muy acogedor.
