One of the greatest chefs in the world wants to feed the hungry<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

For chefs, worldwide renown often leads to lucrative expansion deals: Restaurants in tourism capitals like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Vegas, and Dubai are almost a given. That\u2019s one reason why it\u2019s so surprising that Massimo Bottura, the chef at Modena\u2019s\u00a0Osteria Francescana<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 one of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in Italy, and the world \u2014 has expanded in a different way, keeping just one full-service restaurant (with all of 12 tables), while focusing his expansion energy on a nonprofit initiative that aims to feed the hungry.<\/p>\n

Lara Gilmore, Bottura\u2019s wife, is the president of\u00a0Food for Soul<\/a>, a program that aims to promote awareness of hunger and food waste, while also opening ambitious \u201ccommunity kitchens\u201d for needy patrons. The idea of offering food, in addition to a sense of culture and dignity, began as a happy accident in the run-up to Expo Milano 2015 \u2014 when Bottura offered to make a sustainable contribution to the city and its residents, and found eager chef-collaborators like Alain Ducasse. That was followed by Refettorio Gastromotiva, which debuted during the 2016 Olympics. Next is\u00a0Refettorio Felix<\/a>\u00a0in London (which will feature chefs like Ducasse, Clare Smyth, and Daniel Boulud), as well as Stateside expansion, thanks to a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation for more than $500,000. The first two American\u00a0refettorios\u00a0<\/em>are scheduled to open in 2018 and 2019, with seven more locations slated to open around the country. Grub Street sat down with Gilmore and Bottura to talk about international accolades, getting robbed in Rio, and why they\u2019re using their culinary stature to nourish some of the the world\u2019s most in-need diners.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
