José Andrés and Donald Trump Have Two Very Different Approaches to Steak Eating

José Andrés is the chef that helped America fall in love with tapas. Now, he runs an empire of some 26 restaurants and is a passionate advocate for immigration reform (for which Obama awarded the chef a National Humanities Medal). Andrés is everywhere: D.C., Vegas, Miami, and even in the crosshairs of a legal battle with the current president, who sued after Andrés pulled out of a restaurant project at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. The superstar chef recently sat down in the Eater Upsell studios to talk to hosts Helen and Greg about his dealings with Trump, being snubbed by the James Beard Awards, and the vacation experience that inspired him to create what some are calling the world’s greatest margarita.
