I've never had that dish. Seen it on a few cooking shows and some of them looked like they'd be pretty tasty.

its great stuff

super flavorful and if you make it right the rice actually starts to ever so slightly burn on the bottom of the pan and it makes this nice crispy almost crust like thing at the bottom

We Puerto Ricans call that Pegao.

And apparently Columbians do too:

Maybe its just a Hispanic thing, I will have to ask my mexican friend next time I see him.

PS:
Mead, do you not live near a large city? Theres got to be dozens of Spanish restaurants with Paella.
