How Chef Daniel Shemtob Brings Relief Through Food to LA

January 29, 2025

At WCK, we know local chefs understand their communities best. Their expertise ensures meals reflect local flavors, meet cultural needs, and provide comfort. Many chefs we partner with, like Daniel Shemtob of our Chef Corps, are directly impacted by the crises we respond to. They have a deep understanding of what their neighbors are going through, and they show up. Their empathy and drive shine through in the food they prepare, even under the most challenging circumstances. That understanding creates connections through food and truly supports recovery. Watch the video below to hear Daniel’s story.
