No Way, Jose!

His Excellency, Jorge Dezcallar, the Ambassador of Spain, held a reception at his residence to honor Chef Jose Andres Tuesday night.  


The culinary innovator – and Titan of Tapas – has been slated to receive an award directed at the contributions of immigrants to the American arts and sciences: the Vilcek Foundation Prize.  Andres’ award will mark the first time this honor has been given for the culinary arts. 


He’ll find a special place for the award sculpture in his home, but Andres has said he has some special plans for its accompanying $50,000 cash prize – donating it to fund a culinary curriculum in schools to teach youth “what and how to eat.”
