Celebrity chef Guy Fieri pitched in to make sure displaced Santa Rosa residents and emergency workers had enough to eat Thursday.
Fieri, a Santa Rosa resident himself, teamed up with the Salvation Army and created a temporary kitchen in the parking lot of the Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building.
Fieri and others served up thousands of meals, according to KTVU, dishing out barbecue favorites like pulled pork, roasted chicken and mac and cheese.
“This is the least we can do,” Fieri told the station.
Fieri also praised Operation BBQ Relief, a nonprofit that brings stick-to-your-ribs comfort food to displaced people.
More than 2,800 residences in Santa Rosa have been destroyed by wildfires, Mayor Chris Coursey told reporters Thursday.
“It’s terrible in so many ways, but it’s wonderful to see great people coming together,” Fieri told KRON. »
