Andres is also widely acclaimed for his humanitarian work. His non-profit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcentralkitchen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Central Kitchen<\/a> brings food to areas devastated by natural disasters such as Puerto Rico, and has earned him recognition as one of Time Magazine\u2019s most influential people for 2018.<\/p>\n<p>LA Kitchen CEO Robert Egger moderated the panel discussion, which was followed with a sous chef competition to see who could best prepare a meal with limited ingredients that could who be served during post disaster relief efforts. Egger came to LA from Washington DC where he had founded <a href=\"https:\/\/dccentralkitchen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DC Central Kitchen<\/a>, an organization dedicated to addressing the hunger problem in the inner city through cooking and distributing donated food, and training homeless and formerly incarcerated people in the culinary arts. Egger informed the Wiltern audience, \u201cWe\u2019re together all night long. So, we\u2019re going to start by talking about a little bit of serious stuff, but then we\u2019ll roll into the whole cooking thing and we\u2019ll be having a good time as we go. A lot of our theme tonight is going to be, \u2018Don\u2019t ask permission when people are hurting.\u2019<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2952\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2952\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2952\" src=\"https:\/\/laelements.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Robert-Egger.jpg\" alt=\"Robert Egger at The Power of Food panel discussion\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LA Kitchen CEO Robert Egger<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In that spirit, Egger noted the clash that erupted between Chef Andres and the FEMA bureaucracy in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/visuals\/framework\/la-na-puerto-rico-unfurled-timeline-20171013-htmlstory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devastation<\/a> of the island of Puerto Rico last year. A devastation that saw people desperate for shelter, clean water and food. \u201cIn fact, FEMA told you pretty much, \u2018Don\u2019t let the door hit you on the way out in Puerto Rico, right?\u201d says Egger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes but the men and women of FEMA were amazing,&#8221; says Andres.\u00a0 &#8220;They are loving, caring people. Sometimes it\u2019s the system that doesn\u2019t give the people the opportunity to serve the people. But they kicked me out of FEMA with six armored guards and I felt so cool. I wish my daughters saw me. And they kicked me out because you know what I had with me? I had the power of the people who asked to be fed. And for that they kicked us out. And you know what we did? We fed them. All the chefs of Puerto Rico came together \u2026and \u2026they say that life starts at the end of your comfort zone. And what we did is move away from our comfort zone, which was trying to do something we kind of never did at that scale. We didn\u2019t have kitchens initially and we didn\u2019t have people. What we did was ask, \u2018Who is out there who wants to feed the people of Puerto Rico?\u2019 And thousands of voices came to help. Thousands of men and women of Puerto Rico came to help. And we went from twenty volunteers the first day to more than 20,000. And we went from one kitchen to twenty-three\u00a0kitchens. And we went from serving a thousand meals the first day to 3.5 million meals the last up to today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andres introduced each of The Power of Food panelist with the endearing intro, \u2018the only, the one!\u201d noting, \u201cIt\u2019s so funny. They put me with my English introducing everybody. Only in America!\u201d All of the panelists, Ron Finley, Zooey Deschanel, Nyesha Arrington and Susan Feniger, have made an indelible impression in the LA food scene. Each had a powerful message about the element of humanity that is necessary to any meaningful discussion about food.<\/p>\n<p>Also fighting bureaucracy, this time from the city of Los Angeles, was Ron Finley who is known as \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/ronfinley.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Gangsta Gardener<\/a>.\u201d Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, he understood what it was like to have to drive miles away from home to purchase fresh, organic produce. One day, he decided to plant vegetables in the curbside dirt strip (parkway) in\u00a0front of his home. That set him on a collision course with LA city officials. \u201cI was a criminal because I planted a damn carrot on the sidewalk. It got to a point where\u2026you see what people don\u2019t see about these areas that they call, \u2018underserved\u2019 and \u2018disadvantaged.\u2019 They\u2019re underserved because you\u2019re ass don\u2019t serve them.\u201d That\u2019s the only reason they\u2019re underserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2954\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2954\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2954\" src=\"https:\/\/laelements.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Ron-Finley-2.jpg\" alt=\"Ron Finley at The Power of Food event for LA food Bowl 2018 at the Wiltern Theater.\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ron Finley at The Power of Food event for LA Food Bowl 2018 at the Wiltern Theater.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Finley evoked enthusiastic applause and laughter by noting, \u201cBut when the complexion of that area changes and you have women who don\u2019t need jobs because their husband works at the stock market or whatever, and they\u2019re pushing strollers with their fuckin\u00b4 Lu Lu Lemon pants on and half cafe latte foam buttercream bullshit drink in the middle of the day, all of a sudden there\u2019s services and there\u2019s conveniences and there\u2019s opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople talk to me and they\u2019re like, \u2018Ron it\u2019s so beautiful man, you\u2019re giving people hope. And I say, \u2018Fuck hope\u2019. Because you can\u2019t do nothing with hope but hope. But guess what you can do with opportunity? And that\u2019s what I want people to have. People in these so called \u2018underserved neighborhoods\u2019 where corporations are making\u00a0billions and billions of dollars on their sickness on their illness serving them poison ass food, I wasn\u2019t going for it so I told the city, \u2018Bring it. Bring what you got \u2018cause I\u2019m not stopping.\u2019 And that\u2019s how I got where I am. Grass grows on these parkways because they put it there. What people don\u2019t realize is we have the opportunity, like Jose, to change the design of this bullshit, \u2018cause it\u2019s by design. It\u2019s a system that\u2019s by design. People are in poverty by design; the stuff that we value is by design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, gardening equals freedom. It ain\u2019t even about food. It\u2019s about freedom and people don\u2019t see that. It\u2019s the opportunity for you to be self-sustaining. Which, we\u2019re not.\u201d\u00a0 Finley\u2019s comments were met with some of the loudest cheers of the night.\u00a0 Who won the battle for the right to plant fruits and vegetables in LA city parkways?\u00a0 Finley did.\u00a0 As of 2016, Angelenos no longer face citations for planting gardens in the parkways of their property.<\/p>\n<p>Egger emphasized the theme for the evening as the spotlight shone on the next panelist. \u201cAgain, what we\u2019re after tonight is not the instagramable food, it\u2019s The Power of Food,.\u201d Egger addressed Chef Susan Feniger, co-founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bordergrill.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Border Grill<\/a>, \u201cYou spent a lot of time traveling the world and really exploring that power at the street level.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2956\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2956\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2956\" src=\"https:\/\/laelements.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Susan-Feniger-2.jpg\" alt=\"Susan Feniger attends The Power of Food panel discussion at LA Food Bowl 2018\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-founder of The Border Grill, Susan Feniger.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I\u2019m not doing near the powerful work that these guys are doing,\u201d says Feniger. \u201cBut I have spent many years traveling in this country and traveling around the world. The thing I\u2019m most drawn to are street food and eating and learning a culture through the street food vendors. Whether it\u2019s one person in India, sitting in front of a little fire in the ground and making something really delicious and selling it, what I feel that does is open up the culture, the neighborhood, to be able to bring a community together and its an equalizer. You may have someone from a corporation and someone from the neighborhood, someone with a lot of money, someone without a lot of money, and it\u2019s bringing opportunity to the neighborhood, to that person, to be able to make a living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fenniger expressed her approval of the recent law that Los Angeles passed allowing street vendors to sell their food without fear of being cited. \u201cIt got passed I believe here in Los Angeles, mainly because it\u2019s going to make money for the city.\u00a0 That\u2019s fine because it\u2019s going to bring inexpensive food\u00a0potentially, to areas all around the city. Give people jobs, be able to bring interesting, unusual food to different parts of the city and that\u2019s something that\u2019s been crazy stupid to not allow in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although actress Zooey Deschanel might be best known for her roles in film and TV, through her company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefarmproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Farm Project<\/a>, she works to ensure access to healthy food. Part of how she does that is through the servicing and creation of food towers, a means of growing fruits and vegetables utilizing a vertical, aeroponic tower structure. The inspiration for The Farm Project was Deschanel&#8217;s pregnancy with her first child.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2957\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2957\" class=\"wp-image-2957 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/laelements.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Zooey-Dechanel-2.jpg\" alt=\"Zooey Deschanel attends The Power of Food panel discussion at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Actress Zooey Deschanel attends LA Food Bowl&#8217;s Power of Food event with LA Kitchen at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe were wanting to feed the baby the most nutritious food and it kind of started this kind of an upward spiral and we started The Farm Project,\u201d says Deschanel. \u201cBasically, we\u2019re trying to make fresh, sustainable, local food as easy, affordable and accessible as packaged alternatives. It\u2019s really easy to buy a box of chips or crackers but it\u2019s not that easy and it\u2019s not that affordable to buy fresh food and we have all these local farmers. It\u2019s hard to\u00a0make a living being a farmer and they need support. We\u2019re trying to build up the infrastructure through a lot of different means and one of them is gardens. So you can grow on a balcony, you can grow on a back yard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deschanel stressed that The Farm Project is making an effort to increase affordability of their product. \u201cWe actually get local farmers that do the seedlings for the towers. But that\u2019s just one part of our business. We want to support local farmers, we want to get people to grow in any space that they can. We want people to be gardeners, we\u2019re trying to get people to ask questions about their food. We want it to be easy and we want it to be affordable because we realize we could go to Whole Foods and buy organic food, but it was expensive and that sucks. Why should I be able to buy that and somebody else not be able to? I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair. That\u2019s why we started Farm Project because the more you buy local food and organic food; you actually drive down costs by creating demand for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been cooking about 16 years especially in this city,\u201d says Chef Nyesha Arrington, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatnative.la\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Native<\/a>. I am very, very, very passionate about Los Angeles. I am very passionate about education. I am very passionate about sustainability; I am very passionate about taking care of our people, all people and humanity. I am a chef by trade and I am wired to just care, care a lot for people. I am living my best me when I cook, and celebrate culture through food. That is who I am. I come from a bi-racial background. My mother\u2019s Korean, my father\u2019s African American and I\u2019m Cherokee Indian, and I taste culture through food and that is what I strive to evoke in people every day when they taste food from me. The conversation today is food is powerful, right? We\u2019re talking about the power of food. I resonate and try to create a ripple and a wave of thought every single day that I cook through culture, through food, through sustainability, through sourcing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2958\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2958\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2958\" src=\"https:\/\/laelements.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Nyesha-Arrington-2.jpg\" alt=\"Nyesha Arrington attends The Power of Food event at the Wiltern Theater for LA food Bowl 2018\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nyesha Arrington<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think in a world where technology is driving our world, food and the power of food is what makes us human beings,&#8221; says Arrington.\u00a0 &#8220;Being able to connect in a room like this and being connected with Food Bowl, it\u2019s so powerful and I feel that fit. LA Kitchen and Robert, I was able to work with your team at All Star Chef\u2019s Classic Men. If those guys didn\u2019t leave an impactful meaning in my life, seeing in these people, real people, real LA people, it is sourcing responsibly, ethically and knowing the growers, knowing our carbon footprint, knowing how to impact the next generation to come and having a planet for people to be able to create. Like, is it going to be here? I want to know and I want to be a part of that conversation. That is my life legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It would be difficult to have a meaningful discussion about The Power of Food in America without acknowledging the contributions of the undocumented men and women who do so much of the manual farm labor. \u201cThe salads that every single senator and congressman, Republican or Democrat, the salads they are eating, chances are that those romaine lettuces, those tomatos, those vegetable, they have been picked up by an undocumented person working in a farm in America,&#8221; says Andres.\u00a0 &#8220;Immigration reform is not a problem for us to solve, immigration reform is an opportunity for America to seize, if we really want to take better care of America, we need not to be forgetting the people, the men and women that everyday work 12-14 hours a day under the very hot sun to make sure that you\u00a0and I, my children and your children, have a plate of decent vegetables on their plate. We need to make sure that immigration reform passes sooner rather than later. That\u2019s part of the food movement too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finley agreed adding,\u00a0 \u201cHalf these people that pick our food, they can\u2019t even afford the food that they pick! Who thinks about that? We really need to. What is the true cost of food? Do you think about what they\u2019re being sprayed with on these fields, bent over all day? No. And that\u2019s just serious, especially when you see it. Have you thought about the cities in California that have no water? The water has to be trucked in. Does anybody know about this? So this is the kind of shit that we need to fix because guess what? They\u2019re not doing it. So we all need to get up off our asses and change something. Fix what you do and move on to fix something else. And that\u2019s what needs to happen. If you eat food and you wear clothes, you\u2019re in the agriculture business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Power of Food event was held in conjunction with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lakitchen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L.A.
