José Ramón Andrés Puerta (born 13 July 1969) is a Spanish-American[1] chef often credited with bringing the small plates dining concept to America.[2] He owns restaurants in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Las Vegas, South Beach, Florida; Frisco, Texas; Mexico City, and Dorado, Puerto Rico. Andrés is the founder of World Central Kitchen, a non-profit devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters.[3] He was awarded a 2015 National Humanities Medal at a 2016 White House ceremony.[4]

Early life

José Ramón Andrés Puerta was born on 13 July 1969 in Mieres, Principality of Asturias, Spain.[5]

Culinary career

Early training

Andrés enrolled in culinary school in Barcelona at the age of 15, and when he needed to complete his Spanish military service at age 18, he was assigned to cook for an admiral.[6] He met Ferran Adrià in Barcelona, and he worked three years at elBulli, from 1988 to 1990.[7] In December 1990, he was fired by Adrià and decided to move to the United States.[8]

Coming to America

At the age of 21, Andrés arrived in New York City with $50 to cook in midtown Manhattan at an outpost of a popular Spanish restaurant, Eldorado Petit. During his time in New York, he also staged at The Quilted Giraffe.[6]

In 1993, he was hired to lead the kitchen at Jaleo, a new tapas restaurant in Washington, D.C. In subsequent years, he helped the owners of Jaleo to open more restaurants: Cafe Atlantico, Zaytinya and Oyamel, along with two more Jaleo outposts.[9]

In 2003, Andrés started minibar at a six-seat counter in Cafe Atlantico, where he served his most creative plates - reservations would fill up a month in advance.[9][6]

Celebrity chef and restaurateur

As his restaurants in America enjoyed success, Andrés became more famous in his native Spain, starring in his own cooking show, "Vamos a Cocinar", which debuted in 2005.[5] He also published his first book, "Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America," in 2005.[9]

In 2006, he negotiated with Robert Wilder to form ThinkFoodGroup, making Andrés a co-owner in his restaurants.[9] Together, they opened more restaurants in Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Puerto Rico.[7]

Beginning in the fall of 2010, Andrés taught a culinary physics course at Harvard University with Ferran Adrià.[10] In May 2012, Andrés was named dean of Spanish Studies at The International Culinary Center, where he and Colman Andrews developed a curriculum in traditional and modern Spanish cuisine, which debuted in February 2013.[11] On 29 October 2012, he announced he was heading back to the classroom, and would teach his first course on how food shapes civilization at George Washington University.[12]

Trump Hotel restaurant and lawsuit

Andrés planned to open a restaurant in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, in 2016. After Donald Trump made disparaging comments about Mexicans in June 2015, Andrés withdrew from the contract with the Trump Organization, which then sued him.[13] Andrés counter-sued, and the parties reached a settlement in April 2017.[14] Andrés remains an outspoken critic of Trump.[15][16]

World Central Kitchen

See also: World Central Kitchen

In response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Andrés formed World Central Kitchen which provides healthy food to families and individuals touched by disasters.[17] Since its founding, the NGO has organized meals in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, and in Cambodia.[3]

In January 2019 Andrés opened a World Central Kitchen on Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC to feed federal workers that were furloughed during the government shutdown.[18]

Puerto Rico Hurricane Maria response

Andrés emerged as a leader of the disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017. His efforts to provide assistance encountered obstacles from FEMA and government bureaucrats, so instead, "we just started cooking."[19] He organized a grass-roots movement of chefs and volunteers to establish communications, food supplies, and other resources and started serving meals. Andrés and his organization World Central Kitchen (WCK)[20] served more than two million meals in the first month after the hurricane.[21][22][23] WCK received two short term FEMA contracts and served more meals than the Salvation Army or the Red Cross, but its application for longer term support was denied.[24][25]

For his efforts in Puerto Rico, Andrés was named the 2018 Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation.[26] He wrote a book about the experience called We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time.[27]
