Standing in front of destroyed buildings with his grill and gloves on hand, Jim states in the video, “I know they don’t have no electricity, so that means they have no electric, no restaurants, no running water. So, I just figured I’d do what I can do: show up with some food and some water.”

Listing the food that was available in a second clip, Jim said that he had hamburgers, chicken, sausages and eggs, adding, “Just little simple stuff that you can have and not have to worry about making a mess. Grab and go type of food.” A native of Paducah, Kentucky, he continued that although he doesn’t own a restaurant, he felt that helping his local community in their time of need “just needed to be done.”
