Dave Grohl smoked ribs and brisket for 450 of L.A.'s homeless (Los Angeles Times)

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl hosted a barbecue cookout for 450 of L.A.'s unhoused at Hope the Mission's Trebek Center last week.

After the meat was smoked and the beans and coleslaw were prepped, “The Best of You” singer called his family and friends to join in serving the food. After scrubbing the kitchen, Grohl asked about returning to cook for everyone. The new centers would be able to shelter approximately 400 families of mothers and children. Grohl sneaked off to nap in his trailer when he could, Vansleve said. The donation went toward purchasing the Los Angeles roller-skating rink Skateland, which was [converted to a 107-bedroom shelter](https://laist.com/news/housing-homelessness/homeless-shelter-northridge-trebek-center-hope-of-the-valley-skateland-skating-rink-adaptive-reuse) and named after Trebek. It’s unbelievable, the guy spent thousands of dollars. “And it’s like an obscene amount of food. So it’s pouring down, the area’s flooded. “He turns up at 6 p.m., and this meat truck gets delivered,” Vansleve told The Times. Chandler Street is one of 15 shelters operated by the group. [Rowan Vansleve](https://www.instagram.com/rvansleve/) said he was ecstatic when he learned one of his favorite rock stars wanted to cook for the shelter.
