Person of the Week - Chef José Andrés
Chef with a Heart.
Below is a link to a great NY Times article about his dedication in helping feed Puerto Rico after the hurricane.
Under the banner of his nonprofit group, World Central Kitchen, his crew of chefs, cooking students, pastors, food-truck drivers and hundreds of volunteers has served, as of Tuesday, close to two million meals and handmade sandwiches. Staff members keeping records of the project say people in all of Puerto Rico’s 78 municipalities have eaten Mr. Andrés’s food. His Twitter feed became a steady source of news and commentary on the state of the island’s recovery.
