Chrissy Teigen left $1,000 tip for Ohio Outback Steakhouse waitress

Chrissy Teigen, 31, celebrity model and co-host of Spike TV’s “Lip Sync Battle” along with LL Cool J, is in the news this week after leaving a generous and jaw-dropping $1,000 tip for a server at an Outback Steakhouse in Centerville, Ohio.  On October 27, Teigen was at the restaurant with her husband, singer John Legend, their daughter, Luna, and several others. According to MSN, when Tiegen and company left the Steakhouse, the generous model also left a $1,000 tip on top of her $193.81 dinner bill.

The recipient of that tip was 21-year-old waitress Mikayla Scott.  Fox News quoted the waitress as saying:  “She walked in with all her glam. I was so nervous I was going to do something wrong.”

“People kept saying you are going to get a fat tip,” Scott said. “I was like ‘Oh my god, praise the Lord.’”

Legend hails from Ohio; and he and his family were in the area to go to a football game between Springfield High School and Kettering Fairmont High School.  Fox reported that Tiegen ordered the restaurant’s signature appetizer, the Bloomin’ Onion, and a chicken sandwich. She must have thought the food and the service were worthy of a big tip.

ABC News reported Scott as saying that this was the biggest tip of her career. “It was an awesome experience,” Scott said.  The grateful waitress told reporters that she was sharing some of that tip with her co-workers and was also using some of her windfall to get her car fixed.
