After Hurricane María, Chef Jose Andrés 'fed' Puerto Rico. Now he's focused on its food production.
Chef Jose Andres attends the MasterCard Exclusive - Paella & Tapas by the Pool hosted by Jose Andres at 2016 Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival Presented By FOOD & WINE at SLS South Beach in Miami, Florida on February 25, 2016.Despite this, Andrés shows now sign of sidelining his humanitarian work.
“If we don’t answer to anything the rest of our lives, already World Central Kitchen did their tiny contribution in the few places we’ve been in the last few years helping. But the truth is, that’s not our intention," he said."We feel there’s a role for us to play, that we occupy, and that we can do very smart, very strategic, very quick and very effective. If anything, we are trying to have bigger and bigger capabilities to respond in more communities.
While greeting friends and chatting to staff, Andrés quickly spotted a disabled homeless person struggling to get through the tourist traffic on Collins Avenue. Andrés motioned to his staff for water and food then delivered it to the man personally, a human exchange barely noticed by the sea of people passing by.
