FLAMENCO FOOD Be the hit of the next graduation, Memorial Day, and Father’s Day celebration with homemade paella from Chef Holvin, owner of Dali Paella. Originally from Puerto Rico, Chef Holvin moved from Maryland to St. Pete along with his delicious recipes and says the name of the company was easy. “Salvador Dalí was a surrealistic artist born in Spain and paella came from Valencia, Spain. Same as Dalí’s artistic style, the paella is an artistic dish that will revolutionize your taste buds.” Ask him to cater your next party!
