Paella making is a wonderful excuse for a grand gathering. This dish lends itself to wide participation (if you would like); and the time it takes to make (anywhere between 1 and 4 hours - depending on how relaxed you are!) contributes to a fun time with friends and/or family.

I taped this webisode in the heat of the summer but it can be done even in winter time. Just make sure you have enough gas in your grill!

Hope you try to make Paella - if you do let me know how it came out and/or ask me any questions. Here it goes:

The bar is kind of the heart of our restaurants and so that is why we pay so much attention to the details of its design and construction.

I am happy to report that construction is coming along very well and wanted to share a couple of pictures with you.

Here is the bar going up:

And here are the guys working the details:

The restaurant is starting to look really good!

I will keep you posted. Cheers!
