Dave Grohl is perhaps best known for putting his vocal chops on display with Foo Fighters, but the rocker put his cooking skills to the test after catering for 450 homeless people.
The band’s frontman, 54, took to The Hope Mission in Los Angeles, California, at around midnight on Wednesday to start preparing a BBQ for those in need with his overnight essentials and a larger-than-life meat smoker.
Over the course of the next 16 hours, the Everlong rockstar cooked up a delicious selection of food, including ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, and accompanying side dishes, including cabbage, coleslaw, beans, and what appeared to be a huge tray of macaroni and cheese.

The gesture comes almost one year after the sudden death of Taylor Hawkins, which rocked the band in March 2022 when he was tragically found dead in a hotel room in Bogota, Columbia.
Months after his bandmate’s death, Dave surprised Glastonbury-goers as he took to the stage to join music legend Sir Paul McCartney on stage, and appeared to show a tattoo tribute to his late drummer friend.
The festival appearance marked the first time the former Nirvana star had performed in public death in March, while Foo Fighters were on tour in Colombia.
And eagle-eyed fans at home reacted on Grohl's tattoo showing a large ‘T’ on the back of his right hand, appearing to be a tribute to his late friend and bandmate.
