Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes once picked up the tab for an entire restaurant.
According to Jason Kander, the NFL superstar was eating with his girlfriend at a Kansas City pizza joint, and nobody interrupted their dinner. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
When Mahomes left, he turned to the entire place and said, “Thanks for letting us enjoy our dinner. This is why I love Kansas City. You guys are awesome!”
Then, people eating there found out he’d paid all their bills.
I heard a story recently that highlights what’s special about #ChiefsKingdom and about our quarterback.
A few weeks back, @PatrickMahomes and his girlfriend @brittanylynne8 were having dinner at a pizza place near their home in #KC.

Obviously everyone recognized them, but nobody interrupted them at all, allowing them to enjoy a peaceful meal. They paid their bill and started to head out the door, and still nobody is jumping up to ask for a selfie or an autograph or anything.

Pat stops at the door, turns back, and everyone looks up. He says to the entire restaurant, “Thanks for letting us enjoy our dinner. This is why I LOVE Kansas City. You guys are awesome!”
After he and Brittany left, it was revealed they had paid the bill for every table.

This is one hell of an awesome move on the part of everybody involved. I can’t imagine how it must be to be constantly harassed in public.
I have no doubt that it truly sucks. When you’re as famous as Patrick Mahomes, there’s no such thing as going out in peace.
That’s the price you pay when you’re one of the best athletes on the planet.

At the same time, it’s also pretty great that everybody just let him and his girlfriend eat in peace. I’m sure they wanted autographs.
I 100% believe people wanted to take pictures with him, but chose not to out of respect. You have to applaud that move.
Mahomes is a good dude, and he just wanted to spend some time with his girlfriend.
