This celebrity chef has served 1 million meals in Puerto Rico since the hurricane, more than the Red Cross

By the end of September, chef José Andrés had arrived in Puerto Rico. His mission? Find and feed victims of Hurricane Maria, which had swept through the island, which also a U.S. territory, destroying the water supply, shutting down electricity, and cutting off food supplies. At that point, Andrés was seeking out hospitals and neighborhoods where he knew people were the most in need, at one time cooking up vats of paella that served at least 5,000 people. His extraordinary efforts have now truly earned him the title of the hardest working philanthropist in the restaurant industry: He’s served 1 million meals in Puerto Rico, more than the Red Cross.
