He provided the food and the time and got caught cooking over 24 hours in the middle of the storm last week. Grace Ancheta, director of development at Hope the Missions Trebek Center in Northridge, California, told HuffPost.
The organization told Today that the Foo Fighters frontman whipped up and served ribs, pork butt and brisket to people in need. The shelter said Grohl showed up at around 3 p.m. on Feb. 22 and began preparing the meat in their kitchen.
The meat didnt go into the smoker until midnight that night because hes like, Oh, it has to season, and it has to do this, Ancheta told Today. Hes definitely a craftsman when it comes to that, and then he spent the night.
Grohl and other barbecuers took turns dodging hailstones and rain to smoke the meat overnight until it was ready around 3 p.m. the next day. He then served the food to guests at 6 p.m. and was happy to take photos with fans.
He wanted no glory for it, Ancheta told Today. He was like, I just want to do this for you guys and give back in that way.
