Yesterday the president of Loyola university called Isaac and I to tell us that we are receiving honorary degrees from Loyola! He called us fireman because we run towards the fire instead of retreating. I thought that was one of the kindest compliments I’ve ever received! 💜

Amanda’s thread. I’m just the muscle guys. Give her a read 🧵
I’m sitting here this morning thinking about what comes next for the American family in need and the anxiety reverberating through Soceity for many right now. I’m a happy insomniac, my doctor HATES that. I try to solve all my problems and few other peoples at three am.

We are bracing for a storm that if it comes I don’t think the American people are prepared for. Do some abuse the system, yes. Most do not. Help us ramp up for the holidays if you can.
Things are hard for everyone. With the gov. shutdown continuing, states are now telling food insecure families not to expect their SNAP or EBT benefits for the month of Nov. Hunger in N.O. will explode even further. We will help as many as we can. 🌻 toupsfamilymeal.com/donate-h…

Chef @IsaacToups’ parents were punished for speaking French. He chose to keep the culture alive by starting a Cajun Meatery in New Orleans and sending his two girls to French immersion.

WCK’s mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza

Replying to @FOX8NOLA
I would like to know how much this costs the state and then I would like to be reminded about how much was cut from feeding children during the summer.

I’m really honored to be a small part of Family Meals efforts. I’m usually just the muscle. All the praise goes to Amanda, Chef Shalika and Molly. This has become their passion project. Scroll through Amanda’s thoughts.
Yesterday we delivered our 70,000th meal to our kids! We stood in the pouring rain and so did those Tulane students I talked with. They muscled boxes of food to cars sopping wet and didn’t complain a bit!

We got 7k meals delivered out into our community to our kids in 39 minutes. I’m just blown away by the generosity of our delivery drivers. The amount they care and show up and check in is astounding. Thank y’all! ♥️

Thank y’all to everyone who has helped us. #feedthekids
I just want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our volunteer delivery drivers this week. We stood in the pouring rain and our drivers delivered in the pouring rain to get our kids fed. It makes me emotional to see how dedicated our drivers are.

Rom and every hostage should be set free immediately. And food should flow freely to starving Palestinians. There is too much suffering. It will only end when we see our humanity in each other…..
🔴BREAKING Palestinian Islamic Jihad released a video of Israeli hostage Rom Braslavski. Rom was abducted from the Nova festival.

While a lasting resolution to the crisis in Gaza must involve a return of all hostages and a cessation of Israel’s military operations, these articles underscore the immediate need for action to be taken to prevent the travesty of innocent people dying of preventable starvation. nytimes.com/2025/07/27/opini…

nytimes.com/2025/07/27/opini… This is an excellent article about the pending famine in Gaza written by Chef Jose Andreas. He’s had Chefs on the ground from the beginning and knows exactly what’s happening. A preventable famine.
