José Andrés might have more energy than anyone on the planet. The chef and humanitarian manages to balance hands-on work with his nonprofit World Central Kitchen, promoting his latest TV show, and running a restaurant empire all at once.

I met Andrés at 8 a.m. on a boat in the Cayman Islands — we were both there for The Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman’s Cayman Cookout — and his energy was boundless. As we prepared for our expedition and looked out over the crystal blue Cayman water, the chef eagerly greeted everyone while expounding on our mission for the day: to spear some lionfish.
