“That’s the bottom line”: Ryan Blaney and his wife Gianna enjoy NASCAR off-season at popular fries stop in Philly
Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney is enjoying his off-season with his wife, Gianna Tulio, taking a break from racing. After the couple got married in Aspen, Co, and spent a few days there, they are now in Philadelphia for Blaney's yearly fires trip.
The couple traveled over 1,990 miles from Aspen to Philly to have the 30-year-old's favorite fries at Chickie’s and Pete’s restaurant. Gianna Tulio shared the image of the restaurant's iconic fries with the famous white creamy cheese sauce.
The Chickie’s and Pete’s is a popular American bar and restaurant chain founded by Peter and Ciarrocchi 47 years ago in 1977. The restaurant is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is known for its iconic crinkle-cut French fries sprinkled with the Chickie’s and Pete’s secret blend of crabby spices served with a white, creamy, cheesy dip.
Ryan Blaney is also among the fans of Chickie’s and Pete’s fries and took his wife all the way to Philly to have his yearly meal at the restaurant during his off-season. He expressed his excitement for the fries on his X account and wrote:
"My yearly Philly trip reminds me that Chickie’s and Pete’s is absolute fire and that’s the bottom line."
Blaney also shared a gif about having a Christmas present reflecting on his yearly meal at the restaurant:
