Paella y Arroces / Paella and Rice
When I was a young boy, I used to help my father cook the best-known dish in Spanish cuisine: paella. He would put me in charge of the open fire where we would cook for our friends and family. This is where I learned the art of controlling the heat, a skill needed by any chef. While heat is important to creating the perfect paella, the real star is the rice. Bomba from Valencia or Calasparra from Murcia are the best to absorb all the amazing flavors and to keep a perfect texture. ¡Buen provecho!- José Andrés. Two of the five paellas below are available. Please inquire with your server which paellas are featured today. Entire pans of paella are prepared to order for six or more guests and presented tableside. Please allow up to 45 minutes of preparation time for all paellas. If you would like a specific paella for your visit, please call us 24 hours in advance to place your order. Available all day weekends, and Monday through Friday 5 PM until 45 minutes prior to closing
