The Buffalo Bills visited the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night for an NFL preseason game, and Bills running back LeSean McCoy made sure his teammates were well fed after the game. Given all his time spent in Philly with the Eagles, McCoy knew just where to order his team’s postgame meal.
McCoy ordered 200 cheesesteaks and 200 orders of crab fries from Chickies and Pete’s, a popular sports bar chair in the Philadelphia region. The cheesesteaks alone are worth it, but to add in a side of Chickies and Pete’s signature crab fries is an extra dose of leadership on McCoy’s part.

If you have never had the crab fries from Chickies and Pete’s, the next time you are in Philadelphia make sure to grab a cup or a basket. Crab fries are crinkle cut french fries seasoned with Old Bay (or something very similar). But make sure you order your crab fries with the signature cheese sauce. Dipping your fries in ketchup is fine, but crab fries are best enjoyed with the cheese sauce using Chickies and Pete’s secret recipe.
There is one question that is left to be answered, however. How much did McCoy tip on that massive order? McCoy has a shady history with his tipping, like leaving a 20-cent tip on a bill over $60 in the Philadelphia area in 2014. As noted by The 700 Level, the appropriate tip for this cheesesteak order would come out to about $600. I’m guessing McCoy handled his fare admirably in this incident because McCoy is friendly with the owner of Chickies and Pete’s.
