NY Giant Tommy DeVito Will Trade Cutlets For Burritos In Livingston Appearance
NJ Giants fan favorite QB Tommy DeVito will appear at a Livingston restaurant for charity Tuesday.
LIVINGSTON, NJ — New York Giants Quarterback Tommy DeVito may be known for enjoying chicken cutlets, but on Tuesday, DeVito will chow down on burritos for charity in the New Jersey town where he was born.
DeVito is scheduled to appear in between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. at the relatively new Bubbakoos Burritos on Eisenhower Parkway in Livingston.
DeVito was born in a hospital in Livingston, although he lives with his family in Cedar Grove (where, he admits, his mom makes his bed).

The restaurant touted the appearance on social media, but some observers were downright suspicious.
"He's going to be at Bubbakoos in Livingston NJ on Tuesday, how can a burrito chain afford that?" asked a Twitter commenter, responding to a sportswriter's post saying that DeVito's fee for appearances had increased from $10,000 to $20,000 after the recent win against the Packers.

But the event is for charity.
In fact, 25 percent of proceeds will go to the Team LeGrand Foundation, to support spinal injury research.
