Chef Jose Andres Will Offer Newly Vaccinated People $50 Gift Cards For His D.C.-Area Restaurants
Local celebrity chef and humanitarian José Andrés is getting into the vaccine rewards game, and he’s offering more than a free donut or a free beer.
On Friday, Andrés tweeted that he would give $50 gift cards to his D.C.-area ThinkFoodGroup restaurants to anyone who shows proof of vaccination, starting Saturday. The giveaway will run “until we reach 70% of total population” vaccinated he said.
“We want everyone vaccinated!” Andrés tweeted.
That 70% goal is a ways off. In D.C., about 36% of residents are partially or fully vaccinated. That figure is 46% in Virginia and close to 50% in Maryland.
Andrés’ offer is only valid for people who get vaccinated starting tomorrow — so if you’ve had your vaccination card riding around in your wallet for a while, you’re not eligible, according to a spokeswoman for ThinkFoodGroup.

Shouldn't have to reward people, BUT if this works that will be GREAT. Whatever works!
