A Dish of Spain for The Devil's Backbone

This Month's Special: Paella.


Welcome once again to the Diner, please take a seat where you like. 

The Devil's Backbone is a 2001, Spanish movie written and directed by the amazing Guillermo del Toro who originally wrote the script while still in film school. It would seem he has always been an exceptional creator and if you don't recognize his name, you should become acquainted. He's worked on movies you've probably enjoyed (Hellboy, Pacific Rim, The Hobbit, Megamind to name a few). Now because this movie was filmed in Spain we felt a Spanish Special would be appropriate to serve our patrons, however not everyone enjoys shellfish or seafood. So to make it more accessible we've whipped up the Americanized version of this dish. You can find our recipe and information about Paella after the review.
