World Central Kitchen's Nate Mook and José Andrés realized their expertise in feeding large groups at a moment's notice could help feed the Guard at the Capitol.

Early Saturday afternoon on a partially cordoned-off street in Washington, D.C., Peter Baca pushed a big stack of boxes containing thousands of cookies toward the doors of Jaleo, a Spanish-inspired tapas restaurant that famed chef and humanitarian José Andrés opened in 1993.

Baca, of the veteran-focused Dog Tag Bakery in Georgetown, said his cookie gift was “a small token to say how much we appreciate their service to our country.”for the deadly attacks — five people, including a Capitol police officer, died — and prevent future violence by turning downtown Washington into a fortress, with more than 20,000 National Guard troops and thousands more police officers and federal agents manning roadblocks and checkpoints.

“This is a situation that nobody’s had to face before; it’s being figured out minute by minute,” Mook said. “And we know — because we see this in all types of crises and emergencies — that food can sometimes be an afterthought, and sometimes people are left working long shifts without food.” “This is a really difficult time; folks are working long shifts,” Mook said. “They were so happy to get some fresh food to eat.”

ltgrusselhonore THIS guy should get the Medal of Honor! He feeds people all over the world in crises situations. MedalOfHonor

Marjorie Taylor Greene should be expelled from Congress, arrested, charged & prosecuted for conspiracy, sedition & inciting insurrection against the United States.

It’s funny how all you Trump supporters and administration were being vindictive and acting like you were in power and acting all big and bad laughing because you could do what you wanted like lie, cheat, treason, pardon etc etc. Now you all feeling like fools and resigning.

The good people in this country far out weigh those who choose to be different...Thank God.
