On Facebook and at the SF Chronicle, idiots are criticizing Guy Fieri for being insensitive by bringing a trailer mounted meat smoker and a wood fired oven to a fire evacuation center. A KQED reporter made this the centerpiece of her story, accusing Guy of doing it as a publicity stunt.
Heck, it's his standard catering setup, minus the signs and banners. He's cooking and delivering 1500 - 2500 tasty meals per sitting and paying for it out of his own pocket. And he said he will continue as long as there's a need.
On a better note, I was listening to KSRO today, and they reported many local restaurants are offering free meals to first responders. Over 500 police officers from places like San Francisco, Oakland and other Bay Area cities have been there since earlier this week, patrolling evacuated areas and manning roadblocks to guard against looting and keep people out.
A group of 10 officers were enjoying a meal in the Santa Rosa Cattleman's steakhouse. While they were eating, other customers quietly approached the manager and offered to cover the officer's tab. They were told it was already taken care of.
After the meal, as the officers rose to leave, the entire restaurant erupted in applause.
