Gerard's Paella Gerard has been making paella for Maker Faire since the very beginning. He serves up a special family-style meal for all the makers the night before the faire. In addition to his traditional chicken and shrimp paella, he also whips up a vegan version in one of his other giant paella pans, the largest of which actually has a trailer hitch and wheels so it can be transported.
