Anti-Trump rapper opens ThinkFoodLab in DC

July 12, 2017

Jose Andres, the chef who battled President Trump in court and then rapped about his immigration policies in April, opened ThinkFoodLab on July 11 in Washington D.C., according to an article published by Eater.

The fast casual restaurant will feature food from Andres' other concepts, including his Spanish food truck, Pepe. The restaurant is designed to allow its chefs to test different menu items and concepts.

"We know that in our mainstream restaurants, at the check average that we have, we're only gonna touch so many people," Joe Raffa, ThinkFoodGroup's chief executive, said in the article. "Getting into the fast casual world allows us to put José's message and José's food in front of a much larger audience."
