The CBS reality series features Anthony McDowell, a manager at Round Table Pizza near SMU and a former NFL player who runs a football league for underserved kids.
He put down the pizza cutter and headed to California, where he was recognized by Round Table Pizza’s corporate owner, Fat Brands, for his work outside the kitchen — in mentoring kids ages 4 to 12 on the field.at 7 p.m. Friday on KTVT-TV . The show also visited locations in Elk Grove, Mich.; Spokane, Wash.; and Fort Bragg, Calif.
Each year, the Round Table Pizza location in Dallas contributes money to the league and allows him time to give attention to it, Stern said. McDowell went forward and joined Round Table Pizza in 2018. He knew Stern’s counterpart, franchise co-owner Shelby Jobe, from playing football with Jobe in Killeen. Stern also played high school football in California. When Stern and Jobe opened the SMU location in the Mockingbird Flats building, McDowell moved into management. He worked at the Frisco location and later the McKinney location before ending up at the SMU restaurant.
When Round Table Pizza’s corporate leaders surveyed franchisees in search of inspirational stories from their employees, Stern and Jobe knew they had a candidate. Not knowingwas involved, Stern nominated McDowell because “we felt there was no better story out there within the company.”
