TIL he owns a bunch of fast food franchises. https://www.delish.com/food-news/a26908840/shaq-papa-johns-investment-board/ The NBA Hall of Famer announced this morning he is joining Papa John's Board of Directors and investing in nine Atlanta-area Papa John's franchises. ... This isn't the first time Shaq is working with a fast food brand—he's been involved in the restaurant business since he was a player. He currently owns a Krispy Kreme franchise in Atlanta, a fast-casual restaurant chain called Big Chicken (he's also the founder), and a fine-dining restaurant in Los Angeles. Previously, he owned 27 Five Guys franchises.

I also found the menu as a whole to be very mediocre, better options down the road at Tavern.

It's across the street from work, so I end up there from time to time. Chicken fingers are the best bet, but I can't stand their fries. So mushy and dry on the inside. ☹️
