The chef and restaurateur has thrown himself into nourishing those affected by the crisis, forklifting food onto quarantined cruise ships and serving nearly 100,000 meals a day to health care workers and others in hotspots—all while providing much-needed jobs for restaurant employees. Andrés’s latest feat: turning the Washington Nationals’ baseball stadium into a massive  community kitchen to serve D.C. residents.
