YCS Access Insider Exclusive! Kirk Hinrich likes to eat at Potbelly Sandwich Works
>> Monday
Wowee Zowee! Our second sports celeb encounter in less than a month!
Truthfully there's little more to the story than what the title says, but seeing as this is the internet and that Kirk Hinrich is famous, I feel obliged to pretend it's more interesting than it was.
Today, I was working in Deerfield, IL, the city where Bulls practice facility the Berto Center is located, and me and a few coworkers went to a Potbelly Sandwich Works for our lunch break. And who should walk into line right behind me? Captain Kirk Hinrich!
As both a Bulls fan and Marquette graduate, I've always felt conflicted cheering for the guy who helped torch Marquette in the Final Four. Plus, I really just wanted to ask if he knew where Tyrus Thomas went for lunch. But to Kirk's credit, he chatted for a few minutes with one of my coworkers, who's both a huge Bulls fan and a Lawrence, Kansas native.
While I didn't catch what Kirk ordered, he took his food to-go, which I would expect out of a multi-million-dollar athlete. I guess when you're famous, you can't eat with the hoi polloi in the sandwich shop. I can't imagine it had aything to do with him being really busy or not wanting to eat alone while people stare because they recognize you. He must just be a pampered snoot who thinks he's too good to eat sandwiches with common folk.

Oh, in case you were wondering, Kirk was wearing Bulls sweatpants and a baseball cap!

i feel severlely disappointed.
****Can you confirm that this Pot Belly's was in the same general vicinity as a Sushi place, a jeweler's shop, and Whole Foods grocery store?? (Plus a bank and Walgreen's, if that helps--the Shops at Deerfield?)
I will be so sad because i worked there ALL summer! There was a guy who worked at potbelly's who totally had a giant earring and it was sweet. daaang. although I too would be conflicted being an MU student/chicagoburbia native
Yeah, definitely next to the Whole Foods. I know that for sure. Sorry...didn't mean to make you feel bad.
no problem, now I'll just have to tell my old boss that Bulls players are now frequenting our suite!
anyone know what time they practice at the berto center?
