Leudtke — who was “so glad to help,” per her own Instagram Story — slipped a special message in the middle of the entrées, disguised to fit in with the dishes.
“Dear SOPHIE,” the hidden message began, “it would be an honor if you would go with me to prom. I love you!”
And, based on the couple’s smiles in the post Guy shared, Sophie said yes.

Last month, Guyrevealed a special father-son moment he and Ryder shared— and opened up about wanting both Ryder and his older brother,Hunter, 27, to embrace their sensitive side.
But the emotional and challenging moment for the athlete turned into a great father-son moment, theDiners, Drive-Ins and Diveshost said.
“The great thing was, I said, ‘The fact that you are willing to let your emotions out and be willing to feel this and not just bury it or blame other people… I said, ‘This is one of the biggest rights of manhood that I’m seeing out of you,’ “ the chef recalled.
