Dave Grohl used his day off from the Foo Fighters Australian tour to cook up barbecue for the homeless in Melbourne.
Grohl worked with the Melbourne-based charity The Big Umbrella Foundation on Friday to serve the meal. The organization posted a note on its Instagram that said Grohl and two Australian chefs “spent 18 hours preparing and lovingly smoking 120kgs of pork ribs, pork butt and beef brisket” that was delivered to their kitchen on Friday morning.
The added that Grohl and the two chefs “served tirelessly in the sweltering heat for over 2 hours feeding 430 meals, posing for photos, signing whatever people found from cardboard plates and T-shirts whilst also being so humble. What a guy! What a day!”
They added, “It will be a day ‘our friends on the streets’ will never forget as they brushed up against a rock legend and one of the nicest guys on the planet who genuinely cares for people in need. No words can fully capture the impact of this positive experience.”
Grohl has put his barbecue skills to help other food organizations over the years. He did meals for the L.A.-based Hope of the Valley in February and Feed The Streets L.A. in March.
