The Calgary Stampede is always a great time for celeb spotting in the city, and 2023 was no exception.
Diplo was in town to play a headline show at Cowboys Music Festival, but he still made time to check out a Calgary restaurant.
The American DJ made a pitstop at steakhouse Smuggler’s Inn, even trying out a heavily garnished Caesar during his visit.
“I guess this is what they drink in Calgary,” he posted on his Instagram story.

During the Stampede, Russ also paid a visit to YYC. Ahead of opening up the Coca-Cola stage, the American rapper put a call out on social media, asking for restaurant recommendations for his time in the city.
While he never officially shared which restaurant he visited, Russ did post a pretty big hint on Threads in the form of a unique menu item: ass. The dish is actually on the menu at the Japanese restaurant Shokunin.
