Here is a recent Time cover.

He doesn't even take credit on his main site that his organization was also at many polling locations around US feeding those lined up to vote, in his #ChefsForThePolls initiative!!
Sainted.

(11,563 posts)Funny, but when I was reading about him, then typing my post, I thought "What if there were 1000 of him, scattered around the globe? Would a statistically significant difference be made?"
I lean towards thinking it just might.

First "met" him on dearly departed Anthony Bourdain show. It was so great - catch it, if you can.

May he and all who help him be blessed by The One who, according to the Bible, used five loaves and two fishes to feed 5,000.

Good to see him getting the recognition he so deserves!

(1,004 posts)the featured guest. He was AMAZING. Very, very funny. Here is the episode: https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/755873508/wait-wait-for-aug-31-2019-with-not-my-job-guest-jos-andr-s
And I have to tell you, there was so much more material they did live that didn't end up on the broadcast version of the show. He really was very quick with jokes and understood the set-ups, etc. It was a great night.

(2,690 posts)President Obama told Stephen Colbert very apologetically that not awarding one to Dolly was one of his serious regrets. He insisted that he assumed she'd already received one and, therefore, did not pursue the matter. He expressed his hope that President Biden, who won the recent election, should make up for his oversight soon into his Presidency.
(I want to add here that the Presidency is awarded to the WINNER of the election while the LOSER has to go home or, in Trump's case, possibly to jail because as a LOSER he would no longer be protected by the power of his office. So, anyway, Joe Biden was the WINNER while Diaper Donnie was the LOSING LOSER, and I'm sorry but it just feels so goddamned good to be able to say that after 4 years of hell that I cannot restrain myself.)

(10,828 posts)And, yes. Andres deserves a Nobel prize for his tireless work. He's been everywhere offering food and comfort and love to those in need, those displaced by storm, tragedy and political stupidity.
The man is a national hero.
