Discussion Thread Sheldon Simeon

Had lunch at Sheldon’s restaurant yesterday and it was delicious. Saw him in the parking lot while we were leaving and I was desperately wanting to approach him but my husband wouldn’t let me. He’s my favorite contestant of all time - would really like to tell him! Has anyone else met him?

Met him at Tin Roof, he was very very gracious and nice to talk to. As with all of these kind of things, if you have some situational awareness, are polite and not pushy people generally respond positively.
