Four days after Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico leaving countless people without food, water, and power, Chef and James Beard Humanitarian of the Year José Andrés arrived, ready to leap to aid. Since then, Chef Andrés and his team have fed hundreds of thousands of people—more than three million meals—offering what his friend Anthony Bourdain called “a practical blueprint for how humans can and should best react in the face of disaster.” Meanwhile, Chef Andrés was tweeting real-time field reports from the ground, and trying to parlay his celebrity access into real, systemic, future-facing change. WBEZ reporter Monica Eng joins him for an update on post-Maria Puerto Rico today, what the Chef Network of World Central Kitchen has been able to accomplish and what’s still left to be done.
