British musician Ed Sheeran came to Denver’s Empower Field on Saturday for a concert that brought a record 85,233 fans to the football stadium. But that wasn’t the only legendary thing Sheeran did while in town.

According to a post on Instagram, Sheeran scored a coveted chance to dine at Casa Bonita in Lakewood, where he checked off several bucket list attractions.

No word on what Sheeran thought about the food, but he looked like he was enjoying the chips and salsa.

After a weather delay Saturday night, the self-proclaimed “South Park” fan performed to a full stadium of adoring fans, setting the single-night record for attendance, according to Empower Field. Garth Brooks previously held the record when he brought 84,000 fans to the stadium in 2019, CBS reported.
