Mahomes buys entire restaurant dinner as thanks

[msw2112]

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.

Negative comments on this thread suck. Pretty much sums up the world we live in.

A millionaire paying for a few pizzas? 

 

Hah! Josh Allen bodyslams fans through tables

[Mr. WEO]

A pizza joint where you pay after you eat??

 

Must be a KC thing.

I've been to a lot of pizza places that also have a sit down restaurant.  You can sit down and be waited on or you can take out pizza.  It certainly isn't a KC thing, I ate at one in Albany a couple of months ago and we ordered a pizza pie.

I've been to restaurants that  serve pizza among many other things.   And then maybe a Pizza Hut as a kid.

Nope, not uncommon at all. But perhaps it's uncommon where you live. Which apparently isn't KC or where I live.

like I said,  I don’t eat at Pizza Hut etc.  I get a pie or a slice and sit and eat or take it to go.  That’s how it works in the city

In most nice places where you might eat pizza, the bill comes at the end. Not ALL, but most. 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”. Papa John’s and such....I’d rather go hungry most of the time.

Paying after Is pretty normal in my experience. How do they know how many beers I want? 

Odds are it was Pizza Hut

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.

Pizza Hut, etc?  Lol, ignorant/arrogant assumption. My guess is that your definition of a pizza joint and mine differ.

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.)

LAMP alert!!! 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.

Flashbacks! The last time I remember being in a Pizza Hut was in Minneapolis. It was right after a football game. Against the Redskins. In a Super Bowl. It was 9 degrees outside, and walking distance from the hotel. It just made the entire experience that much more sad......

 

I haven’t done “franchise pizza” in decades. I rarely do pizza at all, actually. Buffalo spoiled me, and I like to stick to “good” pizza.

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.
