]]> These celebrity chefs aren’t just being hailed for serving up hot meals on television – they’re also feeding first responders and families who have been displaced by the California wildfires.

José Andrés and his charity, World Central Kitchen, have traveled around the world to feed people during every kind of natural disaster. In the past, they have made headlines for giving away millions of free meals to victims of Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Maria.

In Puerto Rico alone, he served over 3.6 million meals – and kitchen volunteers stayed for an entire year to keep making food for the recovering nation.

During Hurricane Florence, he and his team were the only hunger relief operation still operating locally during the brunt of the storm.

Now, he and Food Network chef Tyler Florence are working alongside dozens of other volunteers in Camp and Woolsley, California so they can feed firefighters who are tirelessly tackling the blaze.

In addition to writing handwritten notes of gratitude on the lunch bags, they are also hand-delivering the meals to first responders on the scene of the fire and animal shelters that are taking care of displaced pets.

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri also fired up his stovetop this week to make dinner for the police officers currently stationed at Butte College, as well as the evacuees and firefighters in Chico.

“Guy Fieri made a surprise visit to serve dinner to everyone at the law enforcement staging area at Butte College,” wrote the Butte County Sheriff’s Twitter page. “Thank you so much Guy for filling our bellies and lifting our spirits.”

This is not the first time that Fieri has offered his culinary assistance, either; shortly after evacuating his own home in Santa Rosa last year, Fieri served thousands of meals to first responders and California families.

“In today’s tumultuous world, it’s amazing to see our fire fighters, military, law enforcement and first responders come together to rescue our communities devastated by fire,” wrote Fieri. “So many great people stepping up to take care of one another.”

Meanwhile, billionaire CEO Elon Musk recently volunteered his specially-equipped Tesla models to assist with transportation.

“If Tesla can help people in California wildfire, please let us know,” the Tesla CEO said. “Model S & X have hospital grade HEPA filters. Maybe helpful for transporting people.”

Though there has been no concrete statements about moving forward with the initiative, Chef Andrés enthusiastically suggested that the Teslas could be used to deliver meals to first responders in regions with higher air pollution.

Other Tesla users have simply taken to social media to vouch for the Tesla air filter’s efficiency.

“#ModelX HEPA filter was a massive help as we evacuated the #WoolseyFire last night,” says Twitter user Scott Spiro. “Air was unbreathable and literally caused my lungs to hurt until I got in the vehicle. Thank you #Tesla”

Finally, grocery chain Trader Joes has also reportedly been delivering donated food and supplies to volunteers in the afflicted areas.

]]> Fuller Goldsmith thinks he and his mom Melissa are in for a relaxing, poolside weekend just outside of Palm Springs, California, while his dad Scott has business meetings. What the 14-year-old doesn’t suspect, though, is that it’s all a ruse and less than a half-hour away awaits one of one of his culinary idols, Food Network star Guy Fieri.

The Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Guy’s Grocery Games host has set up shop at the Stagecoach Festival where he curated barbecue from around the country for Guy’s Stagecoach Smokehouse — and it’s where EW has cooked up a surprise fan meeting for the celebrity chef and restaurateur and Goldsmith, who has competed on Universal Kids’ Top Chef Junior and, like Fieri, also won a Food Network culinary competition: The 50-year-old took the Next Food Network Star title in 2006, while the teen emerged victorious on Chopped Junior in April 2017.

Goldsmith isn’t just any young, budding chef. He’s one who has beat cancer three times. He was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was just 3 years old, and after going in and out of remission, he endured three years of chemotherapy, spinal surgery, and a bone marrow transplant. Through it all, he watched people like Fieri and Bobby Flay from his bed, inspired by what they were doing in the kitchen. So he started cooking too. “It was therapy,” he says.

A few years later, Goldsmith was in full remission and one of the most promising young talents on the culinary scene, evident by his Chopped Junior win. And in a very selfless move, he made the decision to give away that entire $10,000 prize, donating it to Birmingham’s Children’s of Alabama hospital where he was also treated to help other pediatric patients and their families.

But today’s prize is his and his alone. As the temperatures in the California desert climb near 100 degrees, Goldsmith and his parents stick close to the shade of Guy’s Stagecoach Smokehouse, sampling the offerings, waiting — unbeknownst to him — to meet and cook with his idol.

Watch the video below to see the surprise unfold, Guy’s emotional and inspiring advice for the aspiring chef, and which celebrity crashes the party.

]]> Though people tend to rib Guy Fieri for his love of diner food that clogs your arteries and might stop your heart with fat and grease, his heart is in the right place. After all, his show, in which he drives across the country, celebrating lesser known and under-appreciated restaurants and their fare, usually served at a countertop, has been on the air for 13 seasons. He must be on to something. Now, there’s something else to love about the celebrity chef: He’s been cooking for victims of the California wildfires.

KQED reports that Fieri arrived in Santa Rosa, the area of California where he’s lived since the 1990s, with “a trailer, a crew, a wood-fired oven and a barbecue smoker,” and began cooking for people who had to evacuate their homes.




“We’re feeding folks in the shelter that have been displaced,” he told the news outlet yesterday. “We just did around 1,200 for lunch, we started this morning. Now everyone’s having a little break, and we’re getting ready to do dinner. That’ll be about 2,500.”

As Food & Wine has reported, the blazes are still destroying homes and wineries, forcing at least 20,000 people to evacuate the affected areas. Fieri himself has experienced some of the fallout from the fires; he said that he and his wife woke up early Monday to heavy smoke, grabbed their dogs, and evacuated their home. Fortunately, his home was spared destruction.

Fieri says afterward, he called up the Salvation Army and told them, “I’m ready, I’ve got an army, I’m ready to help.” The chef insists that he’s not promoting anything, and pushed back against claims that it’s insensitive to use a barbecue smoker in an area already clouded with smoke from the fires.

“This isn’t a PR stunt,” he said. “You don’t see my banners up. I’m not promoting anything. I’m just here cooking. This is feeding people. People need help, and I’m here to help. That’s it.”
