Our next guest is genuinely one of the greatest humanitarians
I know, or anyone would know.
Please welcome my friend, chef José Andrés.
I love you so much.
I love you more.
All right.
And that's Andy in the background.
I'm not letting him in the house because we're you know.
So he's in the yard.
Hi, Andy.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Wow, good Spanish, man.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Yeah.
Muy bien.
All right.
José, you are always, always helping.
You're on the front lines no matter.
You were in Puerto Rico.
You were in Malibu after the fires.
You were in Monicito.
You're always helping.
And now New York is hit so hard.
Tell me what it's like out there because you
are on the front lines.
Listen, right now the people of World Central Kitchen,
we are in more than 30 cities.
We are not only in the United States, but we are in Spain.
We are in Colombia, and Venezuela, and Puerto Rico,
and Virgin Islands.
And let me tell you, only Washington, DC,
when you go around, you see that all of the southern homeless
are not going back to their shelters
because they're afraid.
All of the southern utterly homeless
they need help because the people that
were providing for them, for different reasons
are not able to do so.
And an organization like World Central Kitchen or others
have to step in to feed those otherly that need our love now
more than ever.
Hospitals that all of the sudden they
need help because they have more work.
It's more people, more doctors, more nurses working 24/7,
and they need our help because sometimes the kitchens in those
hospitals cannot keep up.
What Central Kitchen, the men and woman,
and many other organizations, we are here
to support those doctors and nurses fighting this war.
The least we can do, in this case, cooks like me,
is being there feeding anybody the needs
of our support of our help and showing that the plate of food
is the beginning of a better tomorrow.
Yes.
And you have been--
I mean, since COVID-19 began, you've served,
I think, two million meals, 40,000 meals a day in New York
alone.
How are you able to do that?
I mean, I know that you have a lot of help,
but you're keeping so many people employed too, right?
We have a strategy to cover all grounds as possible.
It's things that we do as World Central Kitchen, others
that we do as partners.
And others that we give ideas to third parties
to come with simple solutions.
So yes, we are almost there to get to the 2 million meals.
Before we know it, we're already doing
close to a quarter million meals a day if not more.
What we are here is to cover the blind spots.
We are here to bring the witty and creativity of America
in a moment of disrepair and transform it
into an opportunity.
If anybody's hungry we're going to be there covering
their needs.
So that's what we do at World Central Kitchen.
And this is Leo DiCaprio, who I love, my pal.
He's the one who has helped start this American Food Fund.
Tell everyone how-- everyone's watching this and everybody
wants to help in every way they can
when we're in a position like this,
whether it's donating money, or time, or whatever.
But what can people do to help you?
So DiCaprio is an angel.
I love him.
And he partnered with Laurene Powell Jobs
and they create this fund on GoFundMe
slash America's Food Fund to help Feeding America, the food
banks of the United States and World Central Kitchen.
So if you want to help, use any $1
is going to be helping organizations
like Feeding America and World Central
Kitchen to make sure that we come up
with the smart solutions to feed people.
We don't want this to be a crisis
on the humanitarian front.
We want to make sure that food is the solution,
and that we can help families in this moment that
is kind of a difficult moment for many people.
But actually, through good solutions
we can look at the future with hope.
It's so incredible.
It really is.
Yes, it is.
Obviously, all the medical, the first responders, the nurses,
the doctors, everyone needs money and needs help.
But there are so many people that
are going hungry right now.
So what you're doing is--
And I also want to say that I think food insecurity is
one of those things that a lot of people
are embarrassed to say they're going through.
A lot of people are ashamed to say
they can't feed their family.
And by not letting it become a crisis,
and by doing it without any shame,
I really think you're a Saint.
I really, really do.
You know, my mother, my father, they were nurses.
My father and mother would have different shifts
in the hospital back in Spain.
We're in Spain right now in six cities.
And I always saw that those nurses, those doctors,
they were giving away everything they got inside themselves.
And I think everybody that we are helping in the back,
we are supporting indirectly the amazing job
that those men and women are doing in every single hospital.
Not only in America, but around the world.
Yes, I agree with Andy.
You're a Saint.
We're going to take a break.
We're going to come back with José.
And I think you're going to teach us
how to make a cocktail that we can start drinking
first thing in the morning.
I don't preach.
I only share.
OK.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos,
like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things
like ball peen hammer.
And also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities,
if you're into that sort of thing.
Ah!
