Chef Jose Andres

World renowned chef Jose Andres will visit the Twin Cities this spring.  The Spanish chef/restaurateur, with a portfolio of more than two dozen dining spots in the U.S., formed the nonprofit World Central Kitchen in 2010.  The organization uses food as a way to empower communities and strengthen economies while feeding a lot of desperate people along the way.

The James Beard Foundation recognized Andrés’ work with its award of Humanitarian of the Year in 2018.

He was twice named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, most recently in 2018, and received a National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2015, among other recognition.

He also lectures as part of the “Science and Cooking” class at Harvard University, as well as at “The Sustainable Plate” class at George Washington University in D.C.
