“I’m sorry, what?” the woman replied.
“The wine on the palate with the straw is magical,” Miller said. “A wooden straw.”
The genuine what-the-fudge reactions from people in what-the-fudge situations that Candid Camera first captured nearly 70 years ago never cease to get old, and Miller going undercover as a waiter to promote the “Taste of the Broncos” event is no exception. Miller, wearing the same wig he donned at minicamp Thursday, played the role of Benjamin, a waiter with no boundaries who’s unafraid to bless your food with holy water in a 3 minute, 30 second video posted on the team’s website.

“Yeah, it was fun. I think after about like 20 minutes they knew it was me, though,” Miller said Thursday. “But at first it was fun; I was making guys mad and stuff and eating off of people’s plates.”
Taste of the Broncos is a culinary festival featuring Broncos players working as servers – hopefully performing better than Miller did – handing out some of the best food Denver has to offer. Proceeds for the Sept. 10 event go to Food Bank of the Rockies, and tickets go on sale June 19 (this coming Tuesday).
