Bio

José Ramón Andrés Puerta was born in Mieres, Asturias, Spain. He met Ferran Adrià in Barcelona, and he worked three years at El Bulli. In December 1990, he decided to move to the United States.

In 1993, Andrés was hired to lead the kitchen at Jaleo in Washington, D.C. Later, he helped the owners of Jaleo to open more restaurants: Cafe Atlantico, Zaytinya and Oyamel. In 2003, Andrés started Minibar at a six-seat counter within Cafe Atlantico. Minibar eventually became a stand alone restaurant that has a twelve-seat counter. He continued to open more restaurants in Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Puerto Rico. 

Andrés starred in his own cooking show in Spain, Vamos a Cocinar, and published his book Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America. 

In 2010 Chef José Andrés developed World Central Kitchen (WCK),  a nonprofit organization that is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises.
