The director’s tip was over 20 percent and totaled $21,000. According to the publication, Perry is a huge fan of the restaurant chain and often patronizes Atlanta’s Northside Parkway location.
Perry is known for giving back. After the Bahamas was devastated by Hurricane Dorian, Perry had a plane flown down to the island filled with supplies.
