Shilo Sanders Becomes a Foodie in Tampa

The journey began with a classic brunch combo: chicken and waffles. “This chicken is good also,” Sanders said. “This place don’t pay me y’all. I will tell you if it’s trash.” His verdict? Chicken scored a perfect ten, though he held back on the waffles, citing the syrup as the difference-maker: “One thing about brunch… the difference between good places and bad places is the syrup.”

Shilo’s standout moment? A fly buzzing nearby. “This fly wants all the smoke from me right now,” he joked. “If a fly lands on my food, I’m not eating it.” The hilarious commentary quickly went viral, cementing the “Shilo vs. The Fly” saga in Buffs fan lore.

As for the food, Shilo’s play-by-play was as flavorful as the menu. The clam chowder? “Sensational! That’s the closest thing to Red Lobster,” he said, giving it a ten. The biscuit donuts had him saying, “You’ve just got to say thank you Jesus.” And the Tavern Benny, a poached egg dish with house-made sausage and buttermilk biscuits earned elite praise: “Very excellent cuisine.”

There was one hiccup: the fruit brulee. Initially a five out of ten, he asked for it without toppings, only to revise his rating: “Now it’s a ten out of ten.”

Even the orange juice got love, “That’s a ten.”

Shilo’s authenticity is exactly why Buffaloes fans keep tuning in. No fluff. No filters. Just real reactions, humor, and the kind of charisma that’s become a hallmark of the Sanders family.

As Coach Prime rebuilds Colorado football with swagger and substance, it’s clear his son Shilo brings that same flavor, whether it’s between the hashmarks or at a Tampa brunch table.

Buffs fans heading to Florida: The Pearl is now officially “Shilo Approved.”
