In today's episode, Andrés speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about the importance of working in community with local restaurants and chefs when serving an area, prioritizing the familiar flavors and cuisine, and making delicious food an essential part of humanitarian aid.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
