There’s a certain poetry in the way chef Eric Paz moves around the fire. Born in Panama and shaped by years of passion for flavors, Eric brings to Austin not just recipes, but a culture a way of living around the pan.
His cooking is less about technique and more about connection. “Every paella I make tells a story,” he says, while stirring rice under a cloud of smoke. That story is one of migration, of persistence, and of finding new meaning in every plate served.
From the Caribbean spices of his childhood to the refined balance of Mediterranean cuisine, Eric merges tradition with instinct. In his kitchen, fire becomes language, the universal bridge between past and present, between Panama and Texas.
Through Round Circle Magazine, we capture that moment where food stops being just food — and becomes a photograph of life itself.
