Country singer Luke Bryan pays surprise visit to Wholey's in Pittsburgh
Country singer Luke Bryan is well versed in songs about fishing, with tracks like “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day,” “Tackle Box” and “Buy Me a Boat” in his catalog.
So it’s no surprise that the “American Idol” judge chose Luke Wholey’s Wild Alaskan Grille in Pittsburgh’s Strip District for a meal during his stop in the city last weekend.
“We exchanged a few fishing stories,” owner Luke Wholey said, “but I tried my best to give him space.”
Bryan, in town for a show on Aug. 19 at the Pavilion at Star Lake, dined on oysters, a captain crunch sushi roll and a cod sandwich.
“I was honored, out of all the places to eat, he chose my restaurant,” Wholey said.
