After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017, chef José Andrés traveled to the devastated island with a simple idea: to feed the hungry. Millions of meals served later, Andrés shares the remarkable story of creating the world's biggest restaurant — and the awesome power of letting people in need know that somebody cares about them.

How did this sound cringy and cool at the same time
Kind people
I am a pure Puerto Rican btw.
Al!sonIsHere who cares
With like 40% taino lol.
Ayyyy same
I feel inspired
Trump inherited OBAMAs FEMA, His people were extremely disgraceful during this ordeal…..
Chadwick Horn Obama revamped and overhauled and completely cleared out Bush FEMA…. so move on.
omg what happened to all those people? I only lived about 2 hours from there at the time. Nobody knew what was happening there. Why did they kill people like that? Nobody that I know of has taken responsibility for the mass deaths.
Ashara Jade no one killed anyone and no one is to blame for the deaths in called nature.
I work with people who where there and saw with their own eyes what happened. Some of them don’t even think they buried their parents that where left to die or killed trying to get out.
More than Trump ever did
@Okay So Maybe YOUR reading comprehension is the problem if you choose to IGNORE the OP and its meaning.. If it has nothing to do with blaming Trump, then why is he even mentioned at all..?? Idiot.. But nice try..
TubeDeviant can you tell us what did he do for puerto rico?
TubeDeviant Ohh nooo, what a meta-counter analysis there, even used caps to emphasize that red-face yelling commonly associated with Trumpsters. I’ve been totalled by such sound logic. /s
@Tania Alejandra If you looked for articles, you would know that more than 600 million has been allocated for the reconstruction of schools in Puerto Rico.. But more importantly, Puerto Rico was in dire financial trouble BEFORE this natural disaster hit.. Trump’s fault as well..??
@Okay So You didn’t add anything logical to this exchange, so don’t start with “logic”..
lets start doing this in every country, state, province, and city. Why not?
MegaLokopo yes!
1) Good idea
2) No resources & economy/government troubles
Lobbyist for food industries wouldn’t allow that. Also there are people in government positions with vested interest to ensure there is poverty. It’s complicated, but I like your hope and inspiration for some change.
Dude, who disliked this video, like what is the point and why, what is to dislike, is it his accent?
Sadly there are many people who would rather hear stories of horror and failure or maybe it was the accent who knows but I agree that there are 23 misguided complete idiots who disliked this video for whatever reasons and no one is going to change that. We all should rather take away from this what Jose Andre’s did and learn from it, build on it and be ready for the next natural disaster armed with information that can save lives. Peace.
This is great content
Jose Andres is a gem!
Inspiring! Do not send money to the RED CROSS they didnt do anything for Puerto Rico. SEND MONEY TO PEOPLE LIKE HIM
Care to elaborate? I donate blood to the red Cross. Is there a better place to do that?
J Girl “money” not blood. And ya im sure that Red Cross did something for P Rico
The only thing they did was send volunteers to distribute the food the government and other organizations brought. The first and only time i saw the Red Cross in the island was in december helping the military to distribute food in Aguada. Sincerely speaking blood is the only thing i would trust donating to them.
(sorry for the bad english!)
Amazing act of humankind, we need more of this the world over!
Thanks to José Andrés for feeding Puerto Rico with the volunteers.
Yet 25.000 children die each day. I can understand some adults might not deserve the help, perhaps they will never pay back the respect or just don’t deserve it but children deserve a chance to live the most, they have yet to prove themselves as a worth to humanity. But nothing’s going to change because as long as it’s not happening to us, or at least close to us, it doesn’t exist.
All adults were once children, children without opportunity or people who cared how they turned out. We need to recognize adults are the result of how we treat them as children
J Girl of course. That’s just logic but recognizing that does nothing. While recognizing that humans are much more valuable to humanity when they are children than when they’re already adults, might help us raise better adults.
Gracias,as a PRrican living in the US and having my family in the island seeing this is truly inspiring ….and now I so want sancocho…
Impressive…makes you proud to be human when the solidarity hits like this, great people!
Great service, however he was paid to do this FEMA. He made money. Volunteers came and help for free but he got paid. The thing is that I really didn’t care however he started bashing FEMA and the president why? There was no need. He did a good until he got political then a fraud alert came out. That’s not true he wasn’t kick out with Ak47. Our churches delivered food and we used Suiza dairy and did alliances with mergers but he became political. He doesn’t say that. The Puerto Rico national guard got the water purification team took the water to Vieques. We provided support to him.
