If you haven’t figured it out by now, we sort of think Jose Andres is awesome. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to catch a talk given by Jose Andres & Vint Cerf (the guy who helped invent the internet). The talk was at Google DC, the place were Vint works, and covered everything from food policy, to the World Cup, to immigration. Having these two together on stage is really proof of how DC has transformed into a Hub for policy, culture and technology.

Google has posted a video of the talk. You should definitely watch it all the way through. Personally I think Jose represents one of the most important voices on food issues. He is intelligent and knowledgable on, but humble and realistic in a way most other voices are not. There is great bit on the Farm Bill towards the end that shouldn’t be missed. However my favorite part was the food samples we got to try after the talk…
