Celebrity chef Jose Andres to give free sandwiches to federal workers during shutdown

Andres wrote he would offer free sandwiches at his restaurants to the 'poor men and women of the federal government... until they get paid again.'

D.C.-based celebrity chef Jose Andres said he would give out free sandwiches to federal employees affected by the government shutdown at his restaurants.

In a tweet Friday, Andres wrote, "And I will offer again Free Sandwiches to the poor men and women of the federal government, republicans and democrats, at every restaurant of mine in DC for lunch until they get paid again!"

Andres made a similar offer during the 2013 shutdown.

Andres is known for his philanthropy, including his charities World Central Kitchen and DC Central Kitchen and helping to feed survivors of natural disasters like Hurricane Maria and the California WIldfires. He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in November.
