Celebrity Chef José Andrés is feeding those hit hard by the coronavirus
With the baseball season postponed, America’s many ballparks stand as little more than somber monuments to the great American pastime.

Celebrity chef José Andrés has partnered his non-profit organization, World Central Kitchen, with the Washington Nationals in order to utilize the stadium’s enormous kitchens and produce thousands of meals during the coronavirus pandemic. Andrés’ team has taken control of two large kitchens in the stadium, where they are already producing 1,000 meals per day, but WCK hopes to get that number up to as many as 50,000 per day.
