I've been to Salty's and tried the stuff in that bin... it tastes sort of like a Mexican risotto. Not paella at all.
I had great paella at a little dive restaurant in Munich near the English Garden once. My wife and I joke that the two best meals we ever had in Munich were Spanish / paella... and Indian.
