We can all agree, no matter our politics, that chef José Andrés deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his amazing work with World Central Kitchen in disaster-stricken areas across the U.S. and the world.

Wait. You blame Biden for what the IRA did in Gaza? Hmm...last I checked, BIDEN ISNT IN CHARGE OF THE ISRAELI ARMY!! Maybe all you fucking armchair leaders, who think you have all the answers, should sit it all out!!!
The... "IRA"? Think you might have missed the mark by a couple thousand miles. That said, we'd be deluded to claim that his almost entirely uncritical posture and support didn't give the *IDF* the geopolitical room to adopt a posture so aggressive even that humanitarian trucks were knowingly bombed.
Chef Jose Andres deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He shows up for those in need around the World prepared to assist under the harshest circumstances. He is a man that we all can learn from.
Agreed. He is an excellent example of someone using their talents for good and not evil. He and his team are always ready to drop everything and start feeding people in need when disaster strikes. Way to go, Jose! Such a well-deserved honor.
This guy is a true hero. Rather than resting on the amazing success of his restaurants and counting his money, he continues to try and feed the world to those that really need it.
One of the most selfless people I have ever seen or read about. One day I would be honored to simply shake his hand
Absolutely. Particularly the places that WCK serves.
Alternately, there are tons of local volunteer organizations to hook into. Food pantries and "soup" kitchens are always looking for help.
If you can't feed the world, feed they guy in front of you.
I love this guy. Not only for his work with WCK but because he’s a cool dude. One of my favorite cooking videos is Jose making a Spanish tortilla. He exclaims “it’s not a fucking frittata!” My husband & I still joke about that.
The difference between Jose Andres and Elon Musk is like comparing a pile of shit to a pile of ice cream. Guess who the pile of shit is, here's a hint " EM"
Chef deserves the award but holeeee fuck… the irony of the man supplying the weapons that killed Andres’ staff and put ZERO pressure on the ZioNazis to “investigate themselves,” standing there in complete hypocrisy giving Andres a medal. AND ANDRES IS HUGGING HIM… there is no honor any more…
The policy isn’t what I was surprised about, but that Andres would accept the medal than take a stand. Biden and Harris already gave away Gaza & the WB (and Syria too). Poor Miriam Adelson’s wasted 100m
It can’t get worse under TЯ☭mp for us but it will be worse for you guys. Keep gloating.
While the policy has been bad for 60 years, let's not pretend it hasn't gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse under Biden. We're currently funding and facilitating an active genocide. And is a quick genocide (Trump) really any worse than a slow genocide (Biden)? They both end the same...
For sure! I wanted to look up who all got awards today. WTG again, Joe. (You know the likes of Little Trumpy and Pres #2 can't comprehend why anyone would use their money and influence to help the needy when they could buy another building or company).
My husband was hospitalized December 2020 (Christmas) during COVID
Chef Jose learned we were in the hospital (I stay with hubby 24/7 as his care companion) and he contacted me to see if we needed anything, if we had the care we needed.
So so very sweet and kind

Chef Jose and his teams are truly inspirational
I first learned about them after Maria in Puerto Rico
Solving logistics problems of getting supplies to the island, getting set up.
Even sending meals on rope pulleys across rivers to reach isloated communities where bridges were wiped out.
This doesn't even seem a subject for debate but, before I left Twitter, I saw a whole thread where people just dumped on him (all right-wing nut jobs).
Not off - on but tuned to a station not broadcasting his inauguration. On another channel from beginning to end. Ratings only look at tvs that are watching something. Ones that are turned off don't affect ratings. Watch anything else to tank his ratings.
Chef Andres inherited the humanitarianism of every soul in the history of humanity who deserves praise for courage and the bravery to help humanity survive in a world full of war pain.
He often got on site before the Red Cross and FEMA, or whatever local agency was involved. And when I say he, I mean Jose was there! Of all the times I have seen him interviewed he is joyful humble and only promotes the charity, not his restaurants. Yeah I can see why the right would hate on him.
Not likely, they live to serve only their own best interests. Neither knows anything about selflessness and caring for the least fortunate/ most vulnerable.
Ty for sharing that!🤩 I honestly didn't know any of it! (I was already convinced that Chef Andres is a saint but now I KNOW he's also 100x a better human)
Sadly, I don’t think we can all agree. I think there is one party that believes innocents-including children and babies-deserve to starve. I think we’re about to see it on steroids, the cruelty that will come. The inhumane treatment that will come. I hope I’m wrong.
Wild hypocrisy! Gaza Gaza Gaza US unconditional support for Israel, death of aid workers and chefs. Republicans ! Stop supporting death torture racism apartheid and the despicable ugliness of Israel.
Nice to see this medal going to people that contributed to the country and humanity not just to 47. An end of an era, at least for the next 2 to 4 years.
He deserves the Nobel too. I adore Chef Jose and support WCK. If you haven’t watched the documentary Ron Howard did called “We Feed People” it’s on Disney. If you have access I highly recommend it.

For now this must suffice.

Makes my volunteering at the Salvation Army kitchen seem puny. I must step up and do more.
To MAGA he's a scary "Socialist." 🙄
He’s deserving his place in our better history.
He is a hero.
Are they using him to prop open a door or something?
Bravo.
I wished he was cooking for pleasure purposes
only.
1 metal isn't nearly enough
for such a hero and great human being.
He's a saint!!
