Erick Sanchez, a Washington, D.C. resident recently launched a Change.org petition pressuring celebrated chef, Jose Andres, to cancel his plans of opening a restaurant in Donald Trump’s D.C. hotel. The petition quickly gathered more than 2,500 signatures and appears to have worked, as DC’s neighborhood news blog, PoPville reports.
