in November, Amazon wanted an interview with the Eagles quarterback. He agreed — so long as it was at FoodChasers. Hurts sat at the restaurant with reporter Taylor Rooks, eating, subtly offering free promotion for the sisters’ enterprise.“We didn’t want to overstep our bounds, but we were like, ‘Oh, it’d be dope if he teaches her how to make a cheesesteak,’” Kala said.
“You can see in that little moment why he’s great as a quarterback, because he processes it,” Brent said.In December, Hurts visited a school following the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old at a high school football game. The visit included a catered lunch for the students. When a national publication followed Hurts along for the appearance, the quarterback made sure the reporter mentioned FoodChasers in the article.
Keep this quiet because no one wants to jinx anything, but should the Eagles win, Hurts wants to come by for his postgame meal with his family. The Johnstones went to Arizona for the Super Bowl. They didn’t have tickets — and didn’t attend the game — but wanted to experience the atmosphere surrounding the event. A few days before the game, Kala paced the street trying to find Wi-Fi when friends flooded her phone with texts asking if she saw the video. She logged onto Instagram and the direct messages piled into her inbox.
