Tommy DeVito's Surprise Visit and Pizzeria Feud: A Lesson in Fame
TL;DR
Tommy DeVito, the New York Giants quarterback, made a surprise visit to Coniglio's Old Fashioned in Morristown, New Jersey, after a controversy over his appearance fee. The restaurant owner, Nino Coniglio, claimed that DeVito's agent had doubled the fee from $10,000 to $20,000, which the small family-run business found too steep. However, DeVito personally visited the restaurant, apologized, and spent several hours with the owners and fans. The restaurant will hold a second DeVito event in January, with proceeds from chicken cutlet sales going to veteran charities.
