José Andrés' nearest neighbors are dominated by journalists, government officials, and political media — not other food professionals. Across the top 10 similar audiences, the subcategory breakdown runs heavily toward Journalists and Government Officials, with news publishers and activism organizations filling the remaining slots. Only one neighbor shares his Professionals subcategory in the entire top 10.

The shape is flat: scores run from 0.97 down to 0.97 with almost no drop-off, meaning no single neighbor dominates and no clear outlier pulls the cluster in one direction. The top match is Axios at 0.97, followed by Paul Krugman (Academics, 0.97) and Ben Rhodes (Government Officials, 0.97). Secretary Antony Blinken (Government Officials, 0.97) and March For Our Lives (Activism, 0.97) round out the top five. The one neighbor sharing his Professionals subcategory is Jon Favreau at 0.96, deep in the set. Tom Colicchio, the only other food-adjacent figure, appears as a TV Personality at 0.96 — a different subcategory entirely.

The composition of this cluster — political journalists, foreign policy officials, news publishers, and activist organizations — signals that José Andrés' audience is shaped primarily by civic and political media consumption, not by culinary or food media identity.
