  • Food is both an ephemeral art form and the fundamental vehicle for demonstrating love, dignity, and care.

I live in Asheville, NC and cannot express how much gratitude and respect I have for this man. World Central Kitchen stayed for weeks after the hurricane making sure we were fed- and Jose Andres personally came into our neighborhoods to deliver it. I will never forget it. Incredible!

People keep asking for Alex Jones. Yet forget Joe has never put any effort into creating a community around his channel. He simply does what he specifically wants to do and you either watch or you don’t. This is how he has stayed relevant all this time and avoided a lot of problems.

I love that Jose Andres never says anything negative about anything. He calls out things he sees as unfair but the man is a classy gentleman who just always seems so happy

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to eat at Bazaar Meat last week when we were in Vegas. It was the greatest culinary experience and meal of our lives! We ordered the ultimate tasting menu, and added the wagyu Philly cheesesteak. Every single thing was unbelievable and the portions were more than ample (I was stuffed). Our waiter was Bryan “BJ” John, he gave us a tour of the restaurant and enhanced the entire experience. Thank you for “feeding” us Mr. Andres, both spiritually and culinarily. What a great human!

This is the closest we’ll get to having another Anthony Bourdain episode. Jose has been involved in Tony’s shows for a long time and I remember seeing him and Eric ripert company Tony multiple times, and it always felt like watching childhood best friends explore the world and you could feel the genuine love and admiration they had for eachother. I cried when bourdain passed away and I’d never met him, but that’s how genuine of a soul he was that he touched so many lives just via writing and television
