Then in early April, while attending the English Montreal School Board’s volunteer appreciation evening, Calvillo was told by Montreal restaurant entrepreneur Jonathan Dresner there would be a burger for the month of May named after him at Dresner’s three Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce locations.

“It’s an honour. It’s one of those things you don’t expect. Even when they told me, I didn’t know what to expect. They asked me what I liked and we went from there,” said Calvillo, who spent two decades playing in the Canadian Football League — including the final 16 seasons with Montreal — and now serves as the Als’ quarterbacks coach.
