Patrons of McNally’s Tavern enjoyed an April 30 lunchtime visit from Jason Kelce, Philly’s favorite podcaster, clothier and wannabe Mummer. Seen here with McNally’s general manager Sam Pié and co-owner Meg McNally, the former Eagle worked up an appetite assisting the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s grounds crew as they prepared for the upcoming Truist Championship. The event will feature a specially designed clothing line from Kelce’s own Underdog Apparel. Anne McNally (also Sam’s mother and the tavern’s other co-owner) reported Kelce made his way through both a Schmitter and a Dickens sandwich, and with two unidentified pals, tried all three cakes: chocolate, carrot and coconut. No word on whether beer was consumed, but let’s just assume yes.
