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. > [](https://twitter.com/AlexDunnin/status/857065612941512704) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4756536/jeff-goldblum-hot-dog-truck/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4756536/jeff-goldblum-hot-dog-truck/"},"headline":"Jeff Goldblum Handed Out Free Hot Dogs From a Food Truck in Australia As one Does","datePublished":"2017-04-26T20:02:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:08.669Z","description":"As one does","url":"https://time.com/4756536/jeff-goldblum-hot-dog-truck/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","Bizarre","food and drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8a81ccb8a6f28b68/6988cad0196cf407c703fdd2/jeff-goldblum-hotdog-truck.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8a81ccb8a6f28b68/6988cad0196cf407c703fdd2/jeff-goldblum-hotdog-truck.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jeff Goldblum Serves Sausages To Sydneysiders","caption":"Jeff Goldblum Serves Sausages To Sydneysiders","creditText":"Don Arnold—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4756536/jeff-goldblum-hot-dog-truck/","name":"Jeff Goldblum Handed Out Free Hot Dogs From a Food Truck in Australia As one Does"}}]}] ```
