Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there is no host stuck at the grill. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
