Frontman of The Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl, joined celebrity chefs Bruce Kalman, Duff Goldman, Antonia Lofaso and many more for a pre-Christmas food-and-music event benefiting the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
By the time the first guests walked into the Eat, Drink and Support benefit at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Dave Grohl had been making brisket, ribs, and pulled pork for around 36 hours. Grohl spent the night before the Saturday (Dec. 22) event at the Food Bank’s downtown warehouse cooking meats to serve at his Backbeat BBQ pop-up — then sliced the brisket himself for the line of foodies that snaked through the venue.
Union alum Bruce Kalman recruited his musician-turned-chef friend for the event, which saw Kalman and Grohl team up with chefs Antonia Lofaso, Duff Goldman, Nick Shipp, and Tyler Anderson for a benefit supporting the L.A. Food Bank — an event organized in just four short weeks by Billy Harris, Paul Vitagliano, K.C. Mancebo of Clamorhouse, Kalman, and Grohl.
“As long as I’m available, I do it,” he said. “Giving back is really important and it feels really good and to have a voice and to be able to help people.”
