But this year, the Detroit area restauranteur is getting the nationwide attention he deserves after a Reddit user posted his handwritten sign advertising the free meal.
Dimopoulos, who came to the U.S. from Greece in 1969, told USA Today that he holds the dinner because he was once hungry and penniless himself.
"I do for the people who don't have anybody home," said Dimoupolos. "One time I was alone. One time I didn't have food. Somebody did it for me."
