After spending 90 minutes watching major league celebrity chef Jose Andres hustling to deliver food to desperate people in far-flung corners of the globe, it’s almost shocking to see him being trip…
Films documentary puts you right in the planes, trucks, and kitchens to witness how one passionate man’s devotion to food in all its manifestations morphed into a new international enterprise to help the poor in desperate straits.
“I cook and I feed,” is Andres’ credo, one that embraces his high-end restaurants such as Jaleo, China Chilcano, and Zaytinya, as well as whatever he can find to rush off to the needy at a moment’s notice. How it all works from an organizational perspective remains somewhat unclear. But the evidence onscreen shows that Andres’ determination, boundless energy, and instinct to ignore or tear through red tape have carried the day with results that are genuinely inspiring.
Starting it all was the Haiti earthquake of 2010. Andres was on the Cayman Islands at the time, and after watching the devastation on TV, he made his way to Port-au-Prince, where he cooked local food for the stranded and homeless. When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017, he was there three days later and helped distribute army-style food; the following year, he got involved again when huge flooding struck Wilmington, North Carolina.
