Country star Jelly Roll shows up to eat at Toronto restaurant
Staff at a Toronto restaurant got a huge surprise when country and rock music star, Jelly Roll, recently stopped by for a meal.
Nashville-based artist Jelly Roll's star has been on the rise over the past few years after his singles Son of a Sinner and Need a Favour went completely viral.
After making his Canadian debut with a concert in St. Catharine's on July 8, the singer set his sights on the 6ix to play a show at History on Wednesday — but adoring fans weren't the only part of Toronto he indulged in during his time here.
Before his show, the singer stopped by CityPlace brunch spot, Morning After, for a quick bite to fuel up before hitting the stage.
According to staff who served him, Jelly Roll showed up to the restaurant unannounced around 3 p.m., but luckily there weren't too many people there at the time, and he was able to eat his meal in peace.
"He was extremely humble and friendly and showed a lot of interest in the business altogether," a representative from the restaurant tells blogTO.
What does a sweet-sounding crooner like Jelly Roll dine on for brunch? According to staff, he ordered the Guilty Conscience — The Morning After's take on a Montreal smoked meat sandwich-meets-Croque Madame.
The restaurant then sweetened the deal (literally) by offering him The Cure; French toast tossed in cinnamon sugar and topped with tequila caramel sauce.
Suffice it to say, the meal was a hit.
"He said the food was '[...] dope' and he would love to see us in the States," the restaurant tells blogTO.
After tucking into his meal, the singer posed for a photo with staff, who confidently say that they'll surely be seeing him in the future.
Morning After is located at 88 Fort York Boulevard.
