As U.S. Food Lines Grow, Chef Jose Andres Warns The 'Worst Is Yet To Come'
As food lines increase across America amid the coronavirus pandemic, the chef responsible for feeding countless people in field kitchens through disasters around the world warns that the “worst is yet to come.”
Celebrity chef José Andrés founded the nonprofit World Central Ktichen ten years ago to serve people at hurricane sites, in floods and earthquakes. Now the organization is mobilizing to respond to the U.S. coronavirus crisis with food for shut-ins, meals for health-care workers and stranded cruise ship passengers, preparing “grab-and-go” boxed meals in several cities, and by setting up food centers in some abandoned restaurants.
The help comes as hunger grows with the exploding ranks of unemployed in the pandemic. Evoking images from the Great Depression, long lines of people in cars and on foot have been filmed in Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York City, Dallas, Fayetteville in Arkansas, and in the shadow of President Donald Trump’s now closed “winter White House” at Mar-a-Lago.

Andres is all about food in a crisis. Starvation is already burgeoning, largely out of sight, he wrote last month in a New York Times op ed.
