4th Paellas Festival by Los Cabos Rotary Club – The 4th Paellas Festival took place at the Sheraton Grand Los Cabos, Hacienda del Mar on Saturday, June 8 with more than 500 people in attendance. Teams made up of a head chef, sous chef and host from 16 participating local hotels had 90 minutes to prepare a delicious seafood-based paella using charcoal, wood, gas, frying pan, pot or casserole. Participants were judged based on cleanliness of their stations, time execution, rice texture, and taste. To keep the competition fair and unbiased, the texture and taste portion of the competition were judged in a blind taste test with judges only having a number corresponding to each paella. This year Destino Los Cabos was honored to have our very own Advertising Executive Ali Lohrman invited as a guest judge! Guests sampled each expertly prepared paella and sipped on wine and cocktails along with a lively salsa dance performance. The event was organized by the Los Cabos Rotary Club and proceeds from tickets sold went to their much deserving Scholarship Program. In the end, Chef Alejandro Macias from Grand Fiesta American was victorious with the best paella of the day! @LosCabosRotaryClub
