Drew to Writers: Let Them Eat Burgers!

Drew CareyThe expression "starving artist" can certainly apply to striking writers, but Drew Carey is providing them with free meals -- at Bob's Big Boy!

We're told Drew picks up the tab at the Burbank institution for any writer who shows the wait staff a WGA card. So far, we hear he's spent a fat $10,000!

The high-calorie eatery is one of Drew's faves. Shocker.

17. Good for you, Drew. We are all tired of the whining writers. They voted to strike, which is their right. They get to pay the price. Of course, it's tough. Of course, families go through hard times. Welcome to life. I hope you win,. But please shut the blazes up about how tough it is. Just SHUDDAP!

24. Way to go, Drew, and I can understand the writers' beef--the studios don't want them getting anything for internet use of their works..and, d'oh, internet is where everything is heading.

28. Yeah, Drew probably grew -up w/ Bob's Big Boy. There used to be tons of them in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
What a swell guy that Drew.
He makes Clevelanders proud.

29. I have worked with Drew before and ran into him at the Bob's Big Boy in Burbank a few times. He has always been very kind to me and is a down to earth guy. Nice of him to think of the writers.

WAY TO GO, DREW!

TMZ - Now THIS is the kind of story I want to read about. Celebrities doing good things to help those in need. Not that sleezy Britney crap.
