Danny and Albert Teran want to tell a story.
The brothers are the owners of Millie’s, a Cuban restaurant up Wilson Avenue, a windy stretch of Bushwick organized around the M train’s rumble and newly built soft-shell condos. The Terans want to tell the story of how a food truck called Bongo Brothers–owned by them, the brothers–had became Millie’s; a journey they attribute, in that kind of way that must seem funny now, to the litigiousness of Gloria Estefan’s legal team. This is the dream, they insist. The end point of their heart and soul can be located on the menu, between the ropa vieja and the Frita, which the menu calls a ‘cuban-style cheeseburger.’
