Sam Chapple-Sokol

Content Manager

I’ve worked for and alongside Chef José Andrés and his company ThinkFoodGroup for years - from the first time he taught at George Washington University (see Projects) to when he hosted Le Club des Chefs des Chefs (see About) to the present. I currently write for, with, and about José and his restaurant group as Content Manager.

I’m excited about my contributions to José’s New York Times best-selling vegetable-focused cookbook, Vegetables Unleashed, released in May 2019. It’s kind of a big dill.

I’m also very proud to have worked alongside José’s chef-driven non-profit World Central Kitchen team on four missions in California: feeding first responders and evacuees during wildfires in August 2018 and November 2018, an operation to support furloughed federal workers during the U.S. government shutdown in January 2019, and after the earthquakes in Ridgecrest in July 2019.

I’ve also worked with José on these stories and many, many others:

TEST?
This is me celebrating minibar by josé andrés’s two-michelin
star win in 2017. Admittedly looking a little too smug.
