Beyond paella
The typical image of paella in Spanish restaurants is a bad close-up photo on a menu discolored by the sun. While that cultural iconography may have its own kitsch appeal, it has nothing to do with the immediate visual effect of a real paella. This story on Food Republic went "Beyond Paella" to chronicle some of the other classic Spanish dishes among my favorites in my own style.
Spice Station
Spice Station is a store in the Silverlake in Los Angeles that sells hundreds if not thousands of spices from all over the world.
