At a time when restaurants are struggling to both keep up with the demand for takeout and still keep the doors open, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is a bit of a savior.
Harbaugh quietly paid for everyone’s dinner at local restaurant Jimmy’s Famous Seafood on Tuesday night during a charity event. While Harbaugh hasn’t disclosed the exact amount, Baltimore’s WJZ-TV reported the tab was a couple thousand dollars. Don’t go giving all the credit to John Harbaugh, however. As he told ESPN, the idea was “100 percent” his wife, Ingrid’s idea.
Harbaugh made sure to give a shoutout to Jimmy’s Famous Seafood owner John Minadakis for his work raising money for other restaurants and bars currently struggling with the coronavirus pandemic.
“John Minadakis is the hero for the fund he’s doing for local businesses hit by the pandemic,” Harbaugh told ESPN.
In total, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood has raised more than $450,000 through their Famous Fund. Ravens players Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey are among the foundation’s top donators, each donating $10,000.
