I'm a chef.
The six months leading up to that, the kids are like, daddy, no more ribs.
No more ribs, please.
No more barbecue.
But then you get it right.
So then you decide like, well, let's invite some people over.
And so the parties get bigger.
Then the smoker gets bigger.
So now you're like going from the big green egg to one that's like the size of this.
And they're like, that's not big enough.
And so you start kind of upping your game.
And around that time I started, I was cooking for charities and things like that.
But in Los Angeles, I noticed like the homeless population was growing.
And there were more and more people on the street.
And you can cook for a charity fundraiser and raise a bunch of money that's gonna go to an organization, or you can just pull up your smoker and cook a ton of food and give it to the people.
So there was a place down the street from where we have our studio.
It's a shelter that was, it was an old roller skating rink that they turned into this facility that was like, basically you can come in and you can have a warm place to sleep and you can have a good meal, but we're gonna help you get back on your feet so that you can get back to life and have a beautiful life.
And so we literally were like, I knocked on their door, like, hey, we can cook for like five or 600 people.
Can we?
So we set up in the parking lot.
