Augie Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) He didn’t even do it at a top steak house! I’m glad we traded him! Seriously, I’ve got to love the guy a little for that, and I also admire the diners. Give celebrities a break! Let them eat in peace. That’s not too much to ask. I know some will feel “they make millions, and this is the price of fame!” I disagree, though I know it’s going to happen more often than not. .

I've been in restaurants with Neil Smith, Donnie Edwards and Tony Gonzales several times and no one bothers them or treats them differently really....other than gawking some....but in general, it's like we (KC area residents) know that part of the appeal is you can be Pat Mahomes and go out and kind of have a normal time out in public. I've never been to Buffalo, but I'd guess or assume you all are pretty similar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Let me get this straight, he appreciates that nobody interrupted his dinner so he pays it forward by paying everyone's tab.....and interrupting everyone's dinner. j/k but it is kind of ironic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The truth is that many pro athletes and other celebrities are real d-bags. Nice to hear a story where a guy isn't. We love Josh Allen, because he seems to be that kind of guy. I've had a few encounters with Buffalo sports figures over the years. A few years ago, I bumped into Marv Levy in the grocery store in the Chicago neighborhood where we both lived. I was very polite, but I did introduce myself and had a brief conversation with him. He was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. Subsequent to that, I got to know his wife and stepdaughter a little bit, as they went to the Bills bar to watch a few games (Marv didn't join them). Very nice people. A few years prior, I bumped into then-Sabres GM John Muckler at a bar in Chicago. Granted, most people wouldn't have known who in the hell he was. He was wearing a watch with a gold face that was a Sabres logo. I also had a brief conversation with him and he was pretty cool. Neither of these are quite the same as a Super Bowl QB at the height of his fame having dinner in a restaurant in his hometown. That said, many years ago, I saw Jim Kelly at the Stuffed Mushroom in Buffalo. I didn't attempt to talk to him, but he was with an entourage and was acting like a d-bag, strutting through there like he owned the place. Around that same era, I saw a huge table of Bills having dinner at the old "Shooters" on the waterfront. It was Bruce Smith, Darryl Talley, Cornelius Bennett and a few others. Me and my friends didn't disturb them. Most recently of all (maybe 3 or 4 years ago), I had dinner at Mulberry's in Lackawanna and Eric Wood was at the next table. We didn't bother him and he didn't pick up our tab.... My apologies if I bored everyone with my many stories, but perhaps it would make a nice thread topic - where people ran into prominent Buffalo sports figures and what (if anything) happened.

What if you want another glass of wine, or somebody wants a dessert or coffee. Do you get a new bill every time someone orders another beer? Even dive bars want you to pay at the end, usually. There are exceptions, but..... I honestly can’t remember the last time a got a “chain pizza”.

Taraka Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 New York City has celebs everywhere and no one pays them any attention. I saw Karlie Kloss the model on the subway once. She didn’t make eye contact or invite conversation but I didn’t notice anyone really noticing. A 6 foot tall supermodel on the subway go figure.

Umm, my wife works mostly in NYC and I go on occasion. A tall skinny girl on the subway would not exactly be a “celebrity” to me, but what do I know? Props on knowing her name! Bigger markets certainly allow greater freedom for “celebrities “. Nicer places with pizza do not usually ask for payment until the end. I can think of a couple exceptions in Atlanta, one of which has one of the best pizzas. (Antico Pizza for the locals, they also don’t do by the slice which is the reason I don’t go there a lot for lunch.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read on at your own discretion. The last time I can remember eating at a Pizza Hut was in Buffalo. For my birthday, my girlfriend (now wife) surprised me with a trip to a Bills game. Got off the plane, got the rental car and decided to get something to eat before we crossed into Canada (stayed at a hotel overlooking the Falls on the Canada side). Saw a Pizza Hut, seemed like a safe choice. It sucked, but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last franchise pizza experience was a few years ago when my youngest repeatedly saw a commercial for someone's 'crazy bread'. He was obsessed and it was harmless to surprise him. Which I did one sunday. It was around a 40 minute drive out and back. The crazy bread sucked, but my son would disagree and his appreciation was priceless and well worth it.
