What is Paella?

Paella is one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine. For this reason, it may be seen internationally as Spain’s national dish, but Spaniards almost unanimously consider it to be a dish from the Valencian region; those who live there, in turn, regard paella as one of their identifying symbols. Paella can vary in many styles and flavors. Below is a list of the Paellas the chefs have come up with for you to enjoy at the Winter Party.

VIP Restaurant and Catering: Shrimp & Andouille Sausage
Blackbird Woodfire: Beef Merguez Sausage, Chicken tossed in Freekeh
Urban Foods Catering: Smoked Paella with Chicken Chorizo, Salmon and Scallops
Maxwell’s Restaurant & Bar: Grilled Swordfish and Spanish Octopus with House Chorizo and Roasted Chicken Breast tossed in Saffron Rice
