I have no grief with Andres. He and the Trump Organization settled their lawsuits, apparently amicably. Plus the Trumps ended up with a David Burke restaurant in their DC hotel. Burke is a top-notch chef.
I didn’t really care for Andres when he judged a couple of episodes of Iron Chef America. He was obnoxiously flamboyant. BUT, he really is a notable philanthropist.
The guy is a big advocate for illegal immigrants. He's always whining that no restaurant in America would be open without them. He loves cheap, illegal labor.
