Chef, I have been a huge fan and supporter of WCK and will continue. However, I think you really damaged your reputation (I know I am not alone in thinking this) when you attended the vulgar, wasteful, ostentatious nuptials in Venice last week. I don't know how you square that with the great work you do, and I find it jarring and sad.

Miss Wendy, perhaps the glass is half full or to some have empty .

I guess sometimes people forget that, Chef Jose Ramon Andres Puerta, is a normal human being with a wife who has friends in all calibers and walks of life all over the world. I don't think we should judge their friends or acquaintances because they don't judge yours. You're entitled to your opinion and for that I respect it. Knowing Chef , he more than likely used this trip to buy spices and other things not to pay expensive import Tariffs on for his restaurants. Whatever he does in his 'private life' does not change how he sees and feeds the world. The job( WCK mission) is still getting done . I'm just saying.

Maybe he was trolling for donations.

I was served aguachilies at my Nephews wedding in LaPaz. His wife’s family, who are local, made it for us. So good!

Thank you. It is sad when most people have their bellies full at anytime of the day. but can not feel what it's like to be starved and sometimes slowly starved to death over a war. Maybe war is not the answer. Our resources go to wars not to disastrous areas where mother nature takes are wrath cuz it seems we really never believe in Earth Day April 22th.
