Celebrity chef José Andrés could trade the kitchen for Congress if he follows through on a threat to challenge a Maryland Republican, saying the state “deserves better.” “I will retire and run for your seat,” Andrés, the famed restauranteur and founder of the emergency food relief nonprofit World Central Kitchen, wrote Monday on the social platform X in response to a message posted by Rep. Andy Harris.

The Maryland Republican had written that under President Biden and Vice President Harris, “overall prices” were “up 20 percent.” “Reminder: Kamala Harris said there’s ‘not a thing’ she’d change from President Biden’s term in office,” said the House member, no relation to the vice president.

When asked during an interview last month if she would have done anything differently from Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee replied that “not a thing comes to mind.”

“You are a disgrace making so many lies and hateful rhetoric,” Andrés wrote in a post directed at the seven-term congressman. “Maryland deserves better specially in my favorite state in the USA…Maryland!” Andrés, 55, said. The humanitarian, who was born in Spain, told ITK in a 2022 interview that he wouldn’t rule out a potential future political run.

1. Organized in the kitchen

Organized in the office!

2. Rural district Trump won by 20 points

But Jose Andres is popular enough to make it competitive.

Among other idiotic positions, Andy Harris wants to recriminalize Marijuana for some reason.

6. I live in Harris' District

The only reason he wins is because the gerrymandering is so ridiculous it takes a slice out of rural Harford County where we live, and then most of the Eastern Shore and other deep Red pockets in between. For those of you who may not know, Harris was Ben Carson's anesthesiologist. A pair made in Hell.

9. TRULY

A pair made in Hell.!!!!!

4. Maybe senator ?

5. HELL YEAH!

I'd move to the Eastern Shore to vote for him! I mean, Heather Mizeur gave Andy a good run for his money last cycle, but the Eastern Shore just wasn't ready to send a lesbian farmer to Congress. But someone like Jose Andres? Heck yeah!

7. He'd have to live there.

I spend a lot of time on the Eastern Shore and I'm not sure there is any town I am willing to live in. Oxford, maybe, but it seems very...unwelcoming. I dunno, just a weird vibe.

8. YES, get rid of THAT harris, please!!!
