Paella in the Face!
Paella is a Valencian rice dish that originated its modern form in the mid-19th century near lake Albufera, a lagoon in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain. But I just like to make it for fun! The flavors of the mussels, clams, shrimp, chicken, spicy sausage, and saffron make even the Grinch smile. Add a cold beer to that and WHALA! Magic. I can make this happen in my 3 ft diameter paella pan on a variety of beaches in the Bay Area. I can even make it happen in your backyard!

Reviews
awesome paella!
I asked Mark to make his paella on the beach for a party I was planning and I am SO glad I did! The paella was excellent - cooked perfectly, full of great seafood and chicken, and very authentic overall. Mark was also very entertaining and fun, and even taught my friends how to make paella if they were interested. In addition, he was very easy to get a hold of and coordinate with - he was reliable, on time, and did everything he said he was going to do. This was a huge hit with all of my guests and was a great addition to my party. I would definitely recommend Mark and his paella, and can't wait to plan another party with Mark!
So good!!
Mark's paella was sooo tasty! The paella was perfectly seasoned and bursting with seafood and other meat (scallops, jumbo prawns, chicken, and chorizo, just to name a few). The occasion was a friend's birthday party, and Mark made the event a blast! He cooked for over 20 people, and we all got 2nds and 3rds. Everyone had a great time on the beach, enjoying the fabulous meal, the ocean, the bonfire...I would definitely recommend this experience!
YUMmy in my tummy!
Mark rocks. Even on a windy day in SF, he was able to make an unbelievably delicious paella, without any sand!!!! Quite an accomplishment, seriously, I don't know how he did that. He came equipped with the biggest pan I've ever seen, tons and tons of seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams) and chicken along with lots of veggies. It turned out beautiful and mmm mmm good. Mark's not only a great paella chef but knows how to keep a party going with his enthusiasm, humor, and ability to talk to anyone. If you want a guy to make great food while keeping the party going, he's your guy. Thanks, Mark, this won't be the last time you make me paella :)
