Dave Grohl took 16 hours out of his week to cook BBQ at a Los Angeles homeless shelter last week.
According to the US gossip website TMZ, the Foo Fighters frontman cooked ribs, pork butt, brisket, cabbage, coleslaw and beans for 450 homeless Californian citizens and 50 staff at the Hope of the Valley rescue shelter last Wednesday (February 22), sleeping overnight in the car park while the meat cooked. Grohl's philanthropic work came as major storms were predicted to hit the Southern California coastline.
Grohl's good deed was celebrated by Hope Of The Valley CEO Rowan Vansleve in an Instagram post.
"And in the middle of our 350 mile run to end homelessness, we got the coolest video ever from Dave Grohl, of the Foo Fighters," wrote Vansleve. "Not only did I wish us luck, but he cooked for hundreds of people who live in our shelters in the middle of one of the worst storms. Nothing but love and respect for Dave."
