My name is Jose Lugo aka (Chef Pepe) founder of Señor Pepe's Paella Catering LLC. Our family history begins in the Northwest coast of Spain, Galicia. My great, great grandparents were from the city of Lugo, Spain. I was born in Brooklyn, New York. My love for cooking began at a very young age and I was fortunate enough to meet and work with chefs from different cultures. Greek, Italian and Spanish cusines are my favorites. In 1995, I relocated to the beautiful state of Florida.
The idea behind Señor Pepe's Paella Catering service is to provide authentic great tasting paella throughout the state of Florida. There are many paella catering companies throughout the state of Florida that offer paella. Most claim to be authentic and after my many travels throughout Spain, I realized very few can make this claim.
"Paella is a rice dish but, all rice dishes are not paella".
Paella requires certain key ingredients not just the pan to be authentic. It must include saffron not food coloring or dyes to make it florescent yellow. In Spain, they have a name for this (paella pintada) which means painted paella because of the coloring added. The rice used to make paella is very important. If you see long grain rice, run! it's not authentic. There are many variations of paella. In Valencia Spain, The birth place of paella. the paella Valenciana is made with rabbit, chicken and snails. There's absolutely no seafood in it. It has a crusty bottom (not burned) called the socarrat. The paella is also very thin. We take pride in offering the authentic traditional paella Valenciana of Spain.
