Less than a day after it was revealed that [Jeff Goldblum would be joining the _Jurassic World_ sequel](http://time.com/4755584/jeff-goldblum-jurassic-world-2/), the actor known to most as Dr. Ian Malcolm proved why [he’s still a crowd favorite](http://time.com/4364336/jeff-goldblum-independence-day-character-theory/) when he fed hungry Sydney residents with a personalized hot dog truck.

Goldblum spent the day handing out free hot dogs from a food truck aptly named “Chef Goldblum’s Jazzy Snags,” much to the delight of local fans.

When asked by Australia’s [_The Daily Telegraph_](http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/jeff-goldblums-sausage-stunt-gives-few-clues-on-what-hes-cooking-up/news-story/c34a648002fbdd9d086b9d9a755769e3) as to why he serving up the snacks in Sydney, Goldblum mysteriously stayed mum.

“I was doing the Thor movie on the Gold Coast some time ago but now I’m doing a project that I have to be secretive about but there is some thematic tie-in to this,” he said. “I’m doing a little research for some work that I’m going to do in my chosen profession. I like food, I’m very interested in food, but you’ll have to wait.”

Fair enough. Until we find out just why Jeff Goldblum is now running a food truck, satisfy yourself with these shots of him serving up hot dogs.
