Kid Rock has proved he's a generous rocker - he recently rewarded a New York restaurant worker with $1,000 in cash for returning a pal's $200,000 watch.

The star was dining at Manhattan's Southern Hospitality with some friends when one of the restaurant's employees spotted the watch on the floor - and promptly alerted the group to his find.

A source tells the New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "The watch wasn't even his (Kid Rock's); it belonged to one of Kid's friends."

And that wasn't the only money the 36-year-old splashed during his visit - he also offered cash prizes to his companions if they completed various challenges.

The source adds, "He was daring his friends to drink bottles of tabasco and barbecue sauce. Two of his friends won $500 each (for completing the task)."
