How José Andrés Helped Feed Puerto Rico

After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017, Spanish-born chef José Andrés followed, by Humvee, by helicopter, by boat–whatever it took to reach people who needed to eat. He tells us how his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, contributed to relief efforts on the island over the course of a year. And he reflects on how his friend Anthony Bourdain encouraged him to write a book about the experience. The result: We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time. José Andrés was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize this year. Plus, the Foundation for Puerto Rico's projects director, Alma Frontera, describes her group’s work on the island. Thanks to Connor Button, who created our theme music.Cómo José Andrés dio de comer a una islaCuando el huracán Maria devastó Puerto Rico en 2017, el célebre chef español José Andrés se montó en cuatro por cuatro, en helicóptero y en barco para llegar, por tierra, mar y aire, a la gente que necesitaba comer. Nos explica la contribución de su ONG, World Central Kitchen, a los esfuerzos de ayuda y reconstrucción. También reflexiona sobre la impronta de su amigo Anthony Bourdain, que fue quien le animó a escribir el libro sobre su experiencia. El resultado: We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time. José Andrés ha sido nominado para el Nobel de la Paz éste año. También hablamos con Alma Frontera, directora de proyectos de la Foundation for Puerto Rico, sobre las actividades de su ONG en la isla. Gracias a Connor Button, creador de la sintonía del programa.
