A quick story about our Executive Chef in his own words:
"When I was 2 months old, my parents moved from our native Germany to Spain where I ended up living for the next 15 years. 8 in Barcelona, 7 in Madrid. Paellas were a staple at most of our parties when it came to food. I learned how to make it from the locals and also from my mother's kitchen staff, Mapi and Amparo. I considered them my two grandmas. They lived with our family for 15 years and taught me everything there is to know about paella and cooking it the traditional way.
When I immigrated to the U.S. in 2001, I arrived in New York City with nothing more than a suitcase and our family Paella Pan. My mother gave it to me as a parting gift for my new adventure. At the time, I thought it was weird, yet who would have known that today it would lead to this. Thank you, mom.
It all started much differently. After obtaining a BA in Finance & Accounting, I started working as an accountant for one of the most prestigious law firms in the nation. As a hobby, I cooked Paellas on a monthly basis for friends. Over the years, my mom kept bugging me with the notion of starting a Paella Business. I told her I was an accountant now, mom...not a chef!
