Jay Wisniewski, owner of the original Caffe Boa on Mill Avenue in Tempe, is an ardent Suns fan.
How ardent, you ask?
Ardent (or crazy) enough to make an outlandish promise to help inspire a victory.
He vows that if the Suns win the championship, he will give the entire Phoenix Suns team – every player, every coach, every towel boy – free meals for life at the Tempe Caffe Boa. Naturally, certain rules apply.
The offer stands for food only (no alcohol), and although each Suns member is entitled to eat anything on the menu, he is also restricted to one meal per week. Thanks to the farm-to-table philosophy of Chef Payton Curry, Caffe Boa’s menu features some pretty healthy stuff (bone marrow and foie gras being the likely exceptions). So the food is athlete-friendly, you might say.
Meanwhile, Suns fans who bring their ticket stubs to the Tempe Caffe Boa before or after the game will be given a 10 percent discount on their restaurant tab. And should they say the word “Dragic,” at either location (Wisniewski a new Boa outpost in Mesa), they’ll be treated to a Santomas Malvasia 2006, one of Slovenia’s many wines garnering attention these days.
Wisniewski says, “We’re really pulling for a win,” but you have to wonder if that could possibly be true.
