A TikToker recently went viral after sharing astory of the unforgettable treatment showed to him by a local steakhouse when his heart was breaking.

Multi-instrumentalist and singer who goes by the username CousinHomer called the Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen location in Saint Joseph, Missouri with a special request: the biggest, most perfectly cooked steak the kitchen could muster.

The musician was set to put his dog of 13 years down that night. The rotund black lab named Bella had been his best friend and stalwart companion, and her owner wanted to make sure her final meal was a blowout.

When Cheddar’s asked which sides CousinHomer wanted with the steak, the musician declined any, only to be told that they came free of charge so he’d be wasting money in one sense.

He said that he didn’t know if Bella would eat any of the sides for her last meal apart from maybe the french fries.

When the musician arrived to pick up the food, the manager emerged with the staff that were on hand, presented the bag of food, and offered the condolences of the entire restaurant—comping the meal in the process.

Cousin, as the restaurant referred to him in the comment section of the TikTok video was blown away, and in telling the story managed to amass 3 million views on the video, with tens of thousands of people tagging Cheddar’s restaurant in the comments applauding their compassion.

When Cousin opened the to-go container, he found a letter of condolence, signed presumably by everyone in the restaurant that day.

Cheddar’s client relations team were overwhelmed by the response, and sent a branded fleece throw in the mail, wishing that comfort would “wrap around you like a warm Honey Butter Croissant.”

Cousin shared that in another video that also went viral.

GNN recently reported on a very similar story from Pennsylvania, when in May a man was forced to put down his dog and received almost identical treatment from his local Texas Roadhouse after he discovered his great Dane Iris had cancer.

Kate Weston, the kitchen manager for Ephrata Texas Roadhouse, told TODAY.com at the time “I was like, ‘Oh my god, we need to make sure that this is the best meal we’ve ever made.’”

The receipt was signed by the whole to-go staff, and the bill was on the house. Iris’ owner Hunter Metzger admitted he and his family were “blown away” by the gesture.
