A taste of Spain in Aiken

Anna and Pedro Figueredo, owners of Paella South, serve up their Spanish symbol of great family food. Pedro, an M.D. in orthopedics, followed his wife to South Carolina, where with her degrees in English, Spanish and a Masters in Curriculum Design, she teaches English to Spanish-speaking children and Spanish to English-speaking kids at Newberry High School. She is teaching English to her husband so he can work in medicine, but their dream now is to open a family restaurant, with their three daughters, somewhere in the Aiken-Newberry-Columbia area.

In the meantime, Pedro says he will happily drive his Paella South truck to your house party and Cork and Cap will bring the wine! Find Paella South on Facebook and Anna says they will soon have a web site. (803) 768-9614
