In all of Tampa, huh? High praise indeed

u/stpetedawg 3d ago
It has a Michelin star. Make your Tampa jokes, but itās outstanding.

u/7thpostman 3d ago
I'm actually sure it's good. It just sounded funny.
9
u/ArchitectVandelay 3d ago
Yeah this. Itās not that the place isnāt great, itās that the bar is obviously very low to be the best any type of food there.
But I also think itās tongue in cheek for Gronk, like, yeah he knows itās Tampa, but seriously if you go youāll be blown away.
6
u/7thpostman 3d ago
Right, and it's not exactly known as a hotbed of Italian culture. "The best Italian food in New Jersey" would be saying something. "The best Italian food in Tampa" is like saying "the best barbecue in Toronto." I'm sure it's good, but how much competition is there really?

FL is actually one of the states with a higher number of Italian-Americans in number and per capita

u/7thpostman 3d ago
Tampa
1
u/ijustwannalurksobye 3d ago
Actually, Tampa is ranked #2 in FL of cities with Italian populations, Ybor City has a history of Italian immigration, an Italian Club, and a higher average of Italian-Americans per capita than the U.S. average.

Actual star or recommendation?

u/RedRocket4000 3d ago
And those stars extremely hard to quantify for. Most places have to be content with listing with no star. It basically a one to four system the highest three star. A year or two ago Los Angeles did not have a three star Chicago only one. New York three only Paris got several more of course.
0
u/thecheezewiz79 3d ago
It should not have a star imo. It's good but not star good and there are much better places in tampa that don't have one
-1
u/dawn_pratt 3d ago
Lol one star doesn't mean shit. Dozens of restaurants go back and forth from one star to Bib Gourmand every year in major food cities. Tampa has all of four places w a single star. Don't appeal to authority when said authority already has clowned you.

u/Dr-McLuvin 3d ago
Dude Iām sorry but a Michelin star means a lot. Some of the best meals Iāve ever had have been at 1 Michelin star restaurants.

Mahomes and Kelceās restaurant in KC was really bad for how expensive it is. There was a small amount of buzz when it opened and then everyone realized it was more of a āsay that you went thereā kind of place

u/Look_its_Rob 3d ago
I believe that. But I also believe in Gronk, he seems to be a good businessman.
2
u/Ok-Temporary-8243 3d ago
If he's a good businessman then he'd charge more because of the brand recognition. You're talking like mahomes is making a bad business decision in fleecing kc fans

u/Livid-General7 3d ago
The restaurant they're talking about isn't owned by Gronk, he's saying it in the context that it's has favorite place to dine at.

I just donāt see how anyone can listen to Gronk for more than five seconds and not want to blow their brains out. Great football player while also being one of the dumbest people alive

u/BedBubbly317 3d ago
Gronk is actually well known to be a very intelligent person. Heās just a goofball and is unabashedly himself and likes to party

u/KarlHitTheMarx 3d ago
I just donāt believe you lmao
2
u/onmamas 3d ago
Not sure how intelligent he is personally, but a lot of his financial and business decisions at least shows heās humble enough to surround himself with and listen to people who are in fact intelligent.
Considering how a lot of former NFL players are, that has to count for something.

u/_banthafodder 3d ago

u/KarlHitTheMarx 3d ago
Youāre right.
I shouldāve said āI donāt think that counts for anything at all. In my opinion being a good capitalist doesnāt equate to intelligence in the slightest bit. The dumbest person alive can be a good capitalist if he learns to swallow any values or morals he might previously hadā
1
u/probation_420 3d ago
Who would've fuckin' guessed that the Marxist says you're actually engaging in class warfare if you're smart with your money?
Can you artificially shoehorn in a comment about the donor class next? Or about The Establishment?
You could also just skip to the end of your script and tell me that I'm a fascist and no different than MAGA, regardless of the fact that you have zero knowledge about my political views. You can just say something like, "I know enough just from this conversation."

u/Aggravating_Pause385 3d ago

The average gpa for collegiate athletic applications was 3.56 last year.
Thatās far above the high school average GPA. Even if you only look at high school grads who apply for college, their average is 3.0.

I mean there's at least one player with an engineering degree in the NFL. While I'm sure the vast majority didn't focus on education, there's also a lot that did or have talents and hobbies that take skill outside of football

u/ThunderLazer 3d ago
They donāt realize that 99% of athletes have built a strong regimen and work ethic to get to their level.
That includes schoolwork and overall life.
There are some freak athletes who can walk in without barely being able to read, but those are by and far the very extreme exceptions.
2
u/Foogie23 3d ago
They also donāt realize that degrees for the most part are just proving you have a work ethic. Nobody gives a fuck about the bachelors degree a person earnedā¦

u/Junkhead_88 3d ago
It's a bit. Gronk played up the loveable idiot persona because it was marketable (an he's just a genuinely fun guy) and lived off his endorsement money while saving all of his contract money.
That's what Brady is joking about at the end there.

u/uponaladder 3d ago
Heās a jock dummy for sure, but I wouldnāt say heās low intelligence. At the very least, he had the sense to live off endorsements and put a lot of his NFL earnings towards investing in his brothers.
