Chef Jose Andres was born in Spain and became an American citizen in 2014.

His relief organization, World Central Kitchen, has served 600 million meals to people in need.

We asked Jose Andres, how does food fit into America's story?

America is a food nation, founded as a land of longer tables, where everybody is welcome.

But food is more than our traditions. It is also our future.

The strength of America depends on how we feed ourselves, but also how we feed the world.

How we care for the people who grow, harvest, and cook our food.

And how we make sure no child goes hungry.

It's our responsibility as the richest nation in history to feed the hungry and care for the poor.

It's our legacy. It's our destiny.

In our worst moments, the best of America shows up at our long table and reminds us who we are.

We the people. Only then, food becomes hope.
