But while Andrés's accomplishments in a year are the sort that most chefs can only dream of achieving over the course of a whole career, another endeavor personally eclipses them all: his work with the non governmental organization he founded a dozen years ago, World Central Kitchen.

LAST YEAR WAS A BUSY ONE for José Andrés. The D.C.-based chef opened new con cepts in Los Angeles and New York and hosted an exclusive dining series in cit ies across the U.S. Then, in late December, he starred in a Discovery+ series, “José Andrés and Family in Spain.”
