They don’t call him Tommy Cutlets for nothing.
Tommy DeVito has quickly become a New York sports legend between his play on the field for the Giants and his true New Jersey native personality off of it.
Naturally, it would be pure gold if the NFL quarterback teamed up with a food influencer to rate Italian food.
And he did just that.
The Giants released video Thursday of DeVito and Staten Island-based food influencer Danny Mondello, better known by his handle Meals by Cug, ranking their Italian entrees and what their favorite pasta is.
“I have my number one for sure. I could throw that in the middle to the bottom tier,” DeVito opines when the questioner asks where ravioli would go on the list.
After ranking lasagna, bolognese and linguine with claims, DeVito revealed that penne vodka was his “number one always.”
As DeVito and Cug went through their entree rankings, DeVito said chicken Francese is a meal you eat “only if you have to go to a dinner or a banquet or something.”
It should go without saying that cutlets were DeVito’s No. 1 entree of choice.
“You can do anything with a cutlet,” he said.
“I’m more of a sandwich guy,” DeVito added. “Chicken, vodka, parm sandwich. Solid.”
Along with his food takes, a video of DeVito at Wicked Wolf Tavern in Hoboken also has gone viral.
One video showed DeVito up against a wall checking his phone.
“Checking his phone during a party he’s one of us fr,” one TikTok user commented.
“Mom said the cutlets r ready but he wasn’t prepared to leave quite yet,” another user joked.
On the field, DeVito has thrown for 697 yards and seven touchdowns in his five appearances for the Giants this season.
He’s also led them to back-to-back wins over the Commanders and Patriots.
DeVito will get the start for the Giants on Monday night when they face the Packers.
