Reason #723 Why Dave Grohl MAY Be The Coolest Guy In Rock

No matter how cool you thought Dave Grohl was, it turns out he’s actually EVEN COOLER. Last week he showed up at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles, with a massive meat smoker and a whole bunch of groceries . . . and fed the homeless. Dave arrived at midnight and spent the next 16 hours cooking up ribs, pork butt, brisket, cabbage, coleslaw, and beans. After everything was cooked, Dave spent time chatting with staffers and people living at the shelter. In all, he fed around 500 people. Dave’s love of BBQ started while recovering from his broken leg from falling off the stage during a Foo Fighters show a few years ago. “What really got me cooking for a crowd, were the Malibu fires. I wanted to cook for everyone who was displaced. I ended up barbecuing hundreds of pounds of meat and bringing care packages to the fire stations, just to say thank you. Those guys were heroes. That’s when I had the idea for Backbeat BBQ, my one-man catering company. I didn’t want to open a restaurant, but I did want to pull up at a Slayer show or a Harley dealership or a church or the L.A. Food Bank benefit and cook. It’s kinda cool that I’m able to do that, and it’s f*#%ing fun!
