Celebrity Watch Shaq Lends His Big Heart and Hands to Big Mama's

Everyone at Big Mama's was proud when the following articles appeared in Norm Clarke's "Vegas Confidential" column in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Shaq-Don't-Do-Diva Award

-- When the staff at Big Mama's Rib Shack was overwhelmed by food orders, and a telephone wouldn't stop ringing, Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal pitched in, grabbing the phone and supplying directions to a customer.

Ribs Shaq

-- If you make your living selling hot food, there is no greater joy than seeing 315-pound Shaquille O'Neal walk through the door--unless you own an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Two cabs pulled up at Big Mama's Rib Shack on West Bonanza Road on Friday, and in strolled Shaq, ready to refuel.

He and his eight-member entourage, including the two cabbies, ordered platters of fried chicken, fried shrimp, ribs, chitlins, ham hocks, yams, oxtails, hot links and collard greens.

Shaq washed down his mountainous portion with a six-pack of Mountain Dew.

And when Big Mama's staff was too overwhelmed with the orders to answer the phone, Shaq helped out. He grabbed the phone and gave directions to a prospective customer.

Thanks for lending us a hand Shaq. Congratulations on all your championships!

We Love You,

--The Staff At BIG MAMA'S
