SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - With warmer temperatures, San Diegans are hosting events outside.

Chef Roc joined ABC 10News This Morning to show you how to cook up an awesome Summer dish he calls Magic Mix Shrimp Tostada.

He also talks about his trip to Ukraine, where he and a group of chefs cooked 63 thousand meals for families a day at the Ukraine and Polish border for a month.

"It was pretty incredible because I got to meet some of the refugees, I actually worked with them, and they're in harm's way," Chef Roc said.

If anyone would like to donate, they can do so at the House of Ukraine or polandwelcomes.org.
