ONE NFL Hall of Famer has pulled on an apron and done his bit in the kitchen after investing in a small business.
Six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Randy Moss, 46, was on hand to help out behind the scenes at the opening of a new Chick-A-Boom restaurant in Philadelphia.

Moss could be seen making and glazing donuts, packaging meals, finishing off burgers, and taking orders at the drive-thru.
And of course, he posed for the occasional fan photo and signed autographs for adoring NFL fans.
Moss, a self-described “chicken lover,” explained to a local NBC affiliate how his business partner Brittany Tolliferreo had reached out to him directly online after he’d been checking the business out.
He explained that he had “been investing my money over the years, putting money here, putting money there.”
Now, he seemed thrilled for “the opportunity to invest in a Black business, a Black family business, oriented business, that have my same vision.”
As for the future of the business, Moss has big plans for Chick-A-Boom.
“I’m trying to be able to get this thing rocking and rolling, be able to franchise out.
“Because I’m from West Virginia the next state over and I know they’re going to be looking for some Chick-A-Boom.”
Moss spent fourteen years in the NFL playing for the Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, and the Tennessee Titans.
He had over 1,000 receiving yards in ten seasons and is currently fourth all-time in total receiving yards with 15,292.
Moss is also second behind only Jerry Rice in all-time career touchdown receptions with 156 in 218 games.
A four-time First Team All-Pro, he turned to broadcasting following his retirement in 2013, initially joining Fox Sports before heading for ESPN in 2016.
Two years later Moss was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
