Harvard Business Review: An Interview with José Andrés

August 6, 2026

Before World Central Kitchen was supporting families in the wake of disasters around the world, José Andrés was a young cook learning that food was far more than sustenance—it was how his family expressed love, built community, and made sense of the world. In this Harvard Business Review interview, José reflects on the experiences that shaped him: the mentors who pushed him, the decision to build a life in the United States, and the lessons his kitchens have taught him about people, resilience, and adaptability. It is that same adaptability, he argues, that makes the difference—whether you are running a restaurant on a difficult night or getting meals to families in the middle of a disaster.
