Bradley Cooper, the "Master" movie star, surprised New Yorkers with some tasty eats last week. He dished out Philly cheesesteaks, even feeding himself, while working at a food truck in the West Village. Joining him in this foodie adventure were Danny DiGiampietro and Seth Braunstein from Angelo's Pizzeria in South Philly. Their truck is aptly named Danny & Coop's Cheesesteaks.
Instagram user DiGiampietro nicknamed Cooper a "natural talent" in the food industry. Celebrities Laura Dern and Gigi Hadid dropped by for a bite during Cooper's shift. When not serving A-listers, Cooper also fed ordinary folks.
Cheesesteaks come at a ten-dollar price tag, with all profits donated to charity organizations. The menu proudly states, "100% of today's earnings will be donated to needy New Yorkers." Cooper and DiGiampietro aim to open a brick-and-mortar Cheesesteak restaurant in NYC, as evidenced by their newly created Instagram handle for Danny & Coop's.

Cooper's culinary talents have earned him praise in the entertainment world, with DiGiampietro dubbing him a "natural talent" in the food industry. The charitable aspect of his food truck venture demonstrates that his interests extend beyond just serving great eats.
Cooper and DiGiampietro took their food truck to New Orleans before the Super Bowl, celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles and supporting local small businesses through Visa's Champions of Small Business Initiative. They have also given back to NYC residents by donating all food truck profits to charity.
As budding restaurateurs, Cooper and DiGiampietro are on the lookout for a permanent location for "Danny & Coop's Cheesesteaks." Their commitment to using their culinary skills to give back to the community is a refreshing blend of entertainment and philanthropy.
