For five years, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has quietly been doing something extraordinary. Before the sun rises, he heads to a smoker, preparing barbecue for homeless communities across Los Angeles.
He spends up to 16 hours smoking ribs, brisket, and chicken, enough to feed over 500 people at a time. During the pandemic, when concerts were canceled, Grohl doubled his efforts—cooking every week. And when reporters asked him why, his answer was simple: “Rock and roll is about caring for people.”
Grohl refuses cameras, insisting, “This isn’t a show—it’s lunch.” In a world where celebrities often seek applause for their charity, Grohl proves the loudest acts of kindness are done quietly. A rock star on stage, but an even bigger one in the streets.
