Woodson, who spent nine of his 18 NFL seasons with the Oakland Raiders and was recently inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was presented with not an apron but his Hall of Fame jacket by surprise guest Warren Moon, also a Hall of Fame quarterback, who played for the Houston Oilers.

As the group got cooking, Mina explained that the pot pie originated in his backyard.

“We would create a giant lobster pot pie, and everyone would just have fun digging in,” he told the crowd. A smaller version is so beloved at his restaurants that they “can’t ever take it off” the menu, Mina added.

One of the pot pie’s most loyal fans?Mike Tyson.

While sipping a glass of Monterey County Pinot Noir from his own brand, Intercept, Woodson was tasked with cleaning and cutting the fish.

“Look at that tail, baby!” he proclaimed, holding up a giant shrimp tail.

Woodson also treated the crowd to a quick serenade from Boyz II Men’s “A Song for Mama,” which he sang at his induction last August. He then led fans in the customary “Raiders!” chant — and did one for the few Packers fans in the crowd, too. (Woodson played for Green Bay from 2006 to 2012.)

The dish’s secret sauce was some whiskey from the athlete’s brand, Woodson Bourbon Whiskey.

So, how did it taste? Woodson took a few seconds to soak the bite in before stating, “You know when something is so good you don’t really want to talk? That’s how good this is.”
