The Scene
The restaurant manager said meeting his hero was the best day of his life.
"I wanted to make a joke on him, 'Hey did anybody tell you you look like David Beckham?' but I didn't know the joke was on me because he was The David Beckham standing in front of me and I literally asked him 'Are you David Beckham?' He says 'I'm David Beckham' and I'm like wow, that's unreal," said Blu's Barbeque manager Rahul Bagchi. "There was no emotion, I was like completely blank, I was star-struck."
Bagchi says she gave everyone samples of their food. Their favorites? The pork belly burnt ends.
