The owners of the “Tex-Mex” restaurant called “Mi Cocina” in the city of Dallas (Texas, United States of America), they couldn’t believe it. Bono, singer of the mythical Irish band U2 and a world star, had entered his place to eat.
The meeting was, how could it be otherwise, immortalized in a photo published on the establishment’s social networks.
“You never know who you might meet in this place! We hope you enjoyed your time at My Kitchen, Bono. Regards!”wrote the owners of the restaurant, who decided not to charge the man for eating.
The publication began to fill up with hundreds of “likes”, but many users noticed something strange in the recording.

They are very stupid”, “It’s not even close”, “Did they give you free fries with gravy?”, “When the Wish bonus finally hits the malls”, “I met him in a church in 2014. It’s very obvious it’s not him,” were some of the comments, in derision letting the owners know it wasn’t the singer.
So it was revealed that it was a Bono impersonator who carried the joke to the end. He left grateful and well-fed without the owners knowing his true identity.
The fact reached local TV, where the presenters couldn’t help but laugh as they revealed the story:
