José Andrés is a chef who, always on behalf of his NGO, is involved in humanitarian situations. For example, the eruption of the La Palma volcano. That is why it is not surprising that he has moved to Poland to offer his help as he knows best, through food. An action that honors you. Just as Jeff Bezos did, giving him 85 million euros for his philanthropic work. Also, he is very valuable that is not only limited to talking, like many other well-known characters. And you? Would you do what the Asturian chef has done?
