Food Network to host Questlove's Potluck for coronavirus relief

People

The Roots drummer and Tonight Show bandleader will virtually host celebrities for a May 28 special to raise money for America's Food Fund. "This was a dream two-and-a-half weeks ago," Questlove tells People, noting that the idea came to him after numerous zoom dinner parties and celebrations, and was partly inspired by his book Mixtape Potluck Cookbook. "I wondered if I could turn an aspect of my book into a special where people bring dishes over virtually," he adds. "I also wanted to challenge my guests to create dishes for under $25 for practicality's sake since we're living in this difficult era."
