Chrissy Teigen is always making waves with her hilarious personality and social media charm. Whether she’s getting blocked by Donald Trump, teaching her daughter to make fun of her own dad, or apologizing for having nipples (that really happened), Teigen is a master at making herself seem like she’s relatable and just one of your friends rather than a millionaire celebrity you’re very unlikely to ever meet in person. But, wait, did you need yet another reason to love the supermodel and cookbook author?

Well, an Ohio waitress is now testament to the fact that Teigen is also probably a pretty good person. According to Mikayla Scott, 21, who works at a Centerville Outback Steakhouse, Teigen ate at the restaurant on October 27 with her daughter and was later joined by her husband, John Legend, and his father, Ron Stephens, according to the Dayton Daily News. 

“She walked in with all her glam,” Scott said. “I was so nervous I was going to do something wrong." But it looks like Scott had nothing to worry about, since she apparently she did a pretty good job: Teigen left a $1,000 tip. “People kept saying you are going to get a fat tip. I was like, ‘Oh my god, praise the Lord,’” Scott told WHIO TV

Scott definitely put the money to good use, too. She shared some of the money with her co-workers and then used the rest to fix her car.

Teigen was in Ohio with her husband, who is from Springfield. He had actually gone to his hometown that same night to watch a local high school football game between Kettering Fairmont and Springfield. But Teigen and Legend are also known to be big fans of one of Outback's most iconic dishes, the Bloomin' Onion. Teigen even got the brand to teach her how to make the dish at home.

And it looks like everyone involved was very happy about the whole experience, including Legend, who posted a photo of the final product on his Instagram.
