“I’ve ordered enough burgers in my life. It’s about time I try handing them out for a change.”

“Beef” Johnston visited Arby’s inaugural New York City location in Times Square during the week of the PGA Championship. To no one’s surprise, he took it upon himself to start handing out food to the people in the restaurant.

Beef’s recent comments:

On how he got his nickname…

“When I was a kid my mate used to say my hair looked like a piece of beef, and it stuck ever since.”

On his popularity…

“It’s wicked. It makes me so happy. It’s sport. It’s supposed to be fun. I just want everyone to come out and have a good time.”

On his happy-go-lucky attitude…

“That’s just how I am. I was getting frustrated at the U.S. Open and then someone would shout something funny and I’d just start laughing.”

On his funny interaction with fans…

“Someone tried to hand me a beer last week and I was like, ‘that’s cruel, not now mate, don’t tempt me.’”

On his recent breakthrough…

“After my first win I got that confidence, that belief that I can beat anyone.”

On making the European Ryder Cup team…

“I need a good one this week at the PGA Championship.”
