Jose Andres Restaurants : 60 minutes with Chef Jose Andres

Jose Andres Restaurants- Chef Jose Andres is a famous Spanish chef, who owns a number of restaurants or eateries along with thinkfoodgroup that includes Jaleo, Zaytunya, Oyamel, Cafe Atlantico and the critically acclaimed minibar by jose andres as well as Los Angeles’s The Bazaar.


Jose Andres was born on July 13, 1969 in Mieres, Asturias, Spain, trained under Ferran Adria at El Bulli, a famous restaurant in Spain.

Chef Jose Andres was featured on a segment of CBS’ “60 Minutes,” he calls himself a pilgrim from Spain – a chef who arrived in the United States 20 years ago with just $50 in his pocket and a set of cooking knives. But these days it’s hard to call him anything less than an amazing American success story. He was GQ magazine’s chef of the year, runs restaurants on both coasts and has been nominated for outstanding chef in America by the James Beard Foundation.

While watching him on 60 minutes, I was taken by Chef Jose Andres words, “Eating has to be fun, has to be a social event, but where you have fun that you are relaxed. But at the same time that you are relaxed, doesn’t mean that you cannot be putting a lot of thought behind what eating, what the food means to you.”

Surely chef Jose Andres will make his Jose Andres Restaurants remarkable.
