It takes Jose Andres three or four tries to appear on screen. Evidently, Washington’s top chef and food philanthropist (he’s distributed millions of meals since the lockdown began) is not as skilled in technology as he is at cooking. After some good-natured cursing, Andres’s bearded visage eventually pops up. He is sitting outside a restaurant in Virginia Beach, a town with three military bases 338km south of Washington, where his charity, World Central Kitchen , is delivering food. The burly Andres seems larger than life. He is wearing a WCK-branded baseball cap and a green bandana around his neck. But for that and a thick Spanish accent, I could almost mistake him for Santa Claus. “You know what happened,” Andres asked. “When I touch my earplug in a Zoom, Siri [Apple’s voice activation service] takes over. It sounds like Siri is jealous because when I touch my ear, she whispers ‘Hey Jose, what do you want?’ ‘Nothing! Leave me alone!’” Relieved we have finally … [Read more...] about Celebrity chef Jose Andres: ‘I do believe a force for good will take over’

The city's famed restaurants and bars will remain closed, except for takeout and delivery, but the City Council unveiled legislation to allow outdoor dining.

REUTERS: Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc on Tuesday reported a 16per cent fall in March same-store sales, as the coronavirus pandemic forced the company to keep its restaurants closed to diners. The company also withdrew its forecast of delivering mid-single digit percentage growth in comparable restaurant sales this year. Chipotle's same-store sales rose 3.3per cent in the first quarter ended March 31, helped by strong demand and higher menu prices in the early part of the year, as well surging online orders. Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Tuesday Chipotle would pay US$25 million to resolve criminal charges related to the company's involvement in foodborne illness outbreaks that sickened hundreds of people between 2015 and 2018.
