Chef Jose' & WCK have 1000's of sandwiches ready for the Grand Bahamas & others

Chef Jose' and his World Central Kitchen organization is so inspirational I had to post about it.

They go wherever they are needed. They have 1000,'s of sandwiches ready for the people of Bahamas. Their kitchens are set up and ready to go in the US as well. The last posting on their website was 9/1/2019. www.wck.org

While we have teams stationed and ready to activate kitchens in areas around Florida, and even preparing for a response in the Carolinas, Chef José and other Relief Team members are currently in Nassau, Bahamas as the catastrophic Category 5 hurricane is hitting the islands. Nassau is south of where Hurricane Dorian is centered, so our team in safe and ready to begin cooking as soon the storm passes.

We @WCKitchen are 80 miles from #HurricaneDorian eye & feeling this!! Imagine what the people of Abaco+Grand Bahamas will experience! Bahamas @opmthebahamas Goverment will need major help! @ClintonGlobal @RedCross @TeamRubicon ...Florida should also get ready for major winds! pic.twitter.com/lIa9ghhUdk

I just heard an interview with him on NPR’s “Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me.” He seems like a really amazing guy, and he was hilarious.

One think of master chefs as arrogant, but he didn’t come across that way in the interview at all. I downloaded one of his books immediately after hearing the interview.
