  • Eat Out Awards 2009: We make Pete Wentz cry

    Posted in Eat Out Awards, Restaurants and bars by David Tamarkin on April 28th, 2009 at 4:19 pm

    Who knew Pete Wentz was such a softie? It took awhile for the news to reach him (he and the rest of Fall Out Boy are on tour), but he’s now hip to the fact that our readers voted his bar, Angels & Kings, the best new bar in the city. And upon learning this, he sent us this video of thanks, where he’s sobbing like a newborn—or at least pretending to. If this performance is any indication of Wentz’s acting skills, he won’t be winning any Oscars anytime soon. So enjoy this acceptance speech while you can.
