Rio chefs are using leftover Olympic food to feed the poor

Leftover food from the Olympic Village in Rio is being cooked by a group of international chefs and then served to the city’s poor. Massimo Bottura, who runs the three-Michelin-star restaurant Osteria Francescana, and Brazil’s David Hertz hope to produce 5,000 meals per day from food leftover by the 11,000 athletes staying in the Olympic Village. The pair were inspired by a similar initiative, Refetterio Ambrosiano, that was launched in Italy last year. It brought 65 chefs from around the world together to cook meals using ingredients donated by the Milan World Expo.
