Following up on yesterday’s post about our concert in the park tradition ~ Paella in the Park ~ I wanted to share this pictorial video of Emilio making his fantastic paella for us.

• The Setting – Spreckels Park
• The Occasion – Coronado concert in the park
• The Result – an outstanding good time was had by all!

Many years ago Bob and I and some friends decided to do one really big and special meal for one of the Coronado concerts in the park. We organized a Hawaiian themed pig roast for a number of years. And then as many of you know, Bob and I stopped eating meat and we needed something unique to take its place.

Our friends Carla and Bobby Kennedy had been to a party where they met Emilio and enjoyed his delicious Spanish Paella. Emilio cooks the paella on site for friends and family for special occasions.
