Farmington Hills Restaurant Staffer Wins Arsenio Hall Fan Contest

Tenera Gaddis will try to convince the celebrity to try a Jaws Jumbo Burger specialty sandwich she created with him in mind.

A video plea to Arsenio Hall has earned a Farmington Hills restaurant staffer a backstage pass to his new late-night talk show. 

Southfield resident Tenera Gaddis, who works at Jaws Jumbo Burger on Orchard Lake Road, won the Arsenio 9 Superfan contest on the celebrity's website. She is such a big fan that she created a video series called "All Things Arsenio Hall", sharing her appreciation for Hall with Jaws customers.

Gaddis, who will spend two nights in Los Angeles and meet her idol, hopes to convince him to try the Jaws Jumbo Burger sandwich named in his honor. The Arsenio Hall consists of two one-third-pound beef patties, four strips of bacon, double cheese and Jaws' sweet barbecue sauce.
