This meal was such a hit with my boyfriend, Stephen, he was still talking about it the next day. He even told his mom about it and showed her the picture on my camera. The plantain chips were inspired by my favorite restaurant, Cuba Libre. I sliced them lengthwise with a mandalin and fried them. I made a honey mustard sauce to go with them, and they disappeared quickly.
