Chef Andrew remains tirelessly on the front line of providing disaster relief in his own small way for all the unfortunate victims of the Pacific Palisades and Pasadena / Altadena fires as part of a larger effort by restaurant & hospitality folks. He updates us on what is being done and what listeners can do to help. It’s an ongoing effort for the very long term. Andrew has also teamed up with Brave Books, his publisher for Andrew Gruel’s Family Cookbook.

When it comes to offering vitally needed assistance when a disaster strikes chefs and restaurateurs are aways in the forefront of providing meaningful assistance. The devastating fires (now finally heading toward control) in Pacific Palisades and Pasadena / Altadena are the most recent examples. Chef Andrew explains what’s being done within his sphere. Personally he’s functioning as an OC hub for product donations going up to L.A. for the L.A. Dream Center Foundation. Providing meals for those needing assistance and volunteers at Dream Center are also part of his efforts.
