Steve and I received a gift from Melissa last year for reservations at Jaleo to celebrate our anniversary. Jaleo, Disney Springs, his fifth restaurant, is owned by the esteemed chef José Andrés. Most of you probably know Chef José for all the amazing work he does feeding people during hard times. Recently, he’s been spending a lot of time in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.

Presently, Chef José has found ways to help feed people during New York City’s shutdown over the COVID-19 Pandemic, which has had our whole country on pause. This man, a great humanitarian, may very well be talked about when we look back at this time in our history.

“Shelter in place” is how our country is dealing with containing the spread of this horrible virus. This means no going out and staying at home. Except for the bank, grocery store, pharmacy, or to get gas, that’s what life has become, at least for a while.

We are all practicing “social distancing”, staying six feet apart to help stop the spread of this virus that’s taking the lives of so many people.

I want to thank all the healthcare workers, doctors, nurses, cleaning staff at all the hospitals, first responders, firemen, and police for all their heroism in fighting this virus.

Once this is all over and things get back to some kind of normalcy, I hope you will visit Jaleo, Disney Springs, located at 1482 E Buena Vista Dr., Orlando, FL. 32830 or visit https://disneyworld.disney.go.com.
