Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
