"A lot of Spanish restaurants serve paella, but none of them have the cojones to call themselves paella specialists. Dos Besos in Old Town Pasadena can rightfully boast said cojones. At this stylish yet casual spot, the paella takes 30 minutes to make and it’s near perfect. The paella valenciana feeds two to three and comes with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and two very large prawns sharing a kiss in the middle. The rice is the real star, however, with its crispy soccarat and fragrant garlic-white wine broth." - sylvio martins
