How Feeding Hungry People Is An Act Of Love | This episode is brought to you by Tushy, Thrive Market, and the Pegan Shake\nHeroes run toward danger rather than away from it, and Chef Jos\xe9 Andr\xe9s is no stranger to disaster zones. Over the past few years, he has responded to several major crises. After an earthquake devastated Haiti, Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, wildfires scorched Southern California, and a refugee crisis intensified on the Venezuelan border, Jos\xe9 quickly mobilized volunteer chefs to prepare meals for thousands of people in need through his non-profit, World Central Kitchen.\xa0\nOn this episode of The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy, I was so happy to sit down and talk with Jos\xe9 Andr\xe9s, an internationally-recognized culinary innovator, New York Times best-selling author, educator, humanitarian, chef, and owner of ThinkFoodGroup, the award-winning collective of nearly 30 restaurants throughout the country and beyond. A naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Spain, Andr\xe9s has been a tireless advocate for immigration reform and on July 4, 2014 was named by President Barack Obama as that year\u2019s \u201cOutstanding American by Choice.\u201d Jos\xe9 was twice named to Time\u2019s \u201c100 Most Influential People\u201d list and recipient of the 2015 National Humanities Medal.\xa0\nThis episode is brought to you by Tushy, Thrive Market, and the Pegan Shake.\nRight now, Thrive is offering all Doctor's Farmacy listeners an amazing deal.
