The celebrity chef and the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation are partnering up to send $500 to 40,000 restaurant workers across the country. The donation is a part of the new Restaurant Employee Relief Fund.
"I started thinking about my brothers and sisters in the restaurant business, and a bunch of restaurants that I was closing — we gotta do something,” Fieri tells TMZ.
"I started sending personal video invitations to all the heavy-hitter CEOs that are involved in the restaurant business, and said 'listen, Pepsi, Coke, UberEats, all of you, we need to raise some money.'"
“As long as the money comes in, we’re going to continue to give these grants," Fieri added.
NRAEF President Rob Gifford spoke about the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund in a statement: "During these challenging times, the NRAEF's mission to support the industry's workforce is more important than ever. With Guy as our champion and the support of so many generous companies, we can help get our family of restaurant workers back on their feet."
The unemployment rate soared to 14.7% in April, in the United States, tripling that of March. An estimated 20.5 million jobs were lost.

Future & Drake’s "Life Is Good" Secures Gold Certification
Life, good. The numbers, also good.
True, Drake and the artist formerly known as Meathead have been hip-hop superstars for a minute now, having enjoyed prime runs throughout the past decade. Now, with both men having comfortably entered their thirties, they have seemingly discovered the perfect method of expressing their satisfaction: endearing smug flex anthems. It seems as if whenever they get together, the pair allow themselves room to get cockier than ever, perhaps emboldened by their shared net worth and admiration for the fast life.

Their latest concoction "Life Is Good" is no exception. By now, the song has become a fan favorite of sorts, with many playfully debating who reigned supreme. Driven by a badass beat switch courtesy of Ambezza, OZ & D. Hill, the precursor to an oft-teased What A Time To Be Alive 2 (never confirmed, but heavily speculated) has become yet another hit in Drake and Future's collective catalog.
According to chartdata's findings, "Life Is Good" has officially sold over 500,000 album-equivalent units in the United States alone, a staggering amount given that one such unit equates to 1,500 streams. While the milestone has yet to be confirmed by the RIAA, it's only a matter of time before Drizzy and Future find themselves sporting a shiny new addition to the wall.
