Calgary Stampede has been a wild ride so far, with dozens of huge international artists making their way to Cowtown.

One of those was American DJ John Summit, who, fresh off the back of two sold-out shows at Cowboys Music Festival, paid a visit to a very unexpected restaurant.

You may think after a packed few days, Summit would be headed to the airport lounge to relax, but Summit, a real man of the people, shared his love for none other than the Calgary Airport Chili’s, as he set off for his next show in Croatia.

“Nothing beats an airport Chili’s,” he said in an Instagram story while raising his glass to the camera.

His love for Chili’s didn’t end there either, as Summit then expanded on his watering hole of choice.

“Only npcs believe overcrowded dirty airport lounges with subpar food and warm beer are superior to an airport Chili’s,” he added.

He then went on to share a video of one of his team members, a New Zealander, trying Chili’s famous mozzarella dippers for the first time.

As Calgarians, we know the airport Chili’s is a right of passage for any trip, so we’re pleased to see that Summit got the memo.

But if you were going to take John Summit to any Calgary restaurant, where would you take him? Let us know in the comments.
