Jeff Goldblum, the inscrutable and idiosyncratic actor from classics like 'Jurassic Park,' 'The Fly,' and 'Independence Day,' recently hit the streets of Sydney, Australia, in a food truck called 'Chef Goldblum's Jazzy Snags.' In a move as bafflingly hilarious as Goldblum's unique acting style, the Hollywood star's food truck handed out free sausages to Sydneysider passersby.
As of yet, it's unclear as to whether Chef Goldblum's Jazzy Snags is part of a promotional tour for any of Goldblum's projects. Though the actor recently announced that he would join the cast of an upcoming Jurassic Park reboot, there was no Jurassic Park branding or messaging to be found anywhere on the truck.
For American readers, the 'Jazzy Snags' portion of the Chef Goldblum truck isn't some added strangeness. In Australia, snag is a term for sausages.
