Days after winning the national championship, Olivia Dunne and LSU's gymnastics team made a promotional appearance as a fast-food chain.
Dunne, Haleigh Bryant, Savannah Schoenherr, Konnor McClain, Aleah Finnegan, and Kiya Johnson worked a ceremonial shift at a local Raising Cane's on Tuesday. They served up chicken to fans at Baton Rouge.
Dunne posted a brief snippet of her inside the restaurant's kitchen. The video's too short to determine how she and her teammates fared at the short-lived new job.

The social media star shared an adorable photo of her waving to a smiling young girl outside the restaurant. The athletes also signed photos for customers.
When their guest shift ended, the Tigers got a chance to enjoy a meal with head coach Jay Clark.
"Tastes even better after winning," Dunne declared.

LSU took home the program's first-ever national title Saturday at Fort Worth, Texas. The Tigers fell behind Utah entering the day's final event, but Finnegan cemented the victory by scoring a 9.95 on the beam.
"It is still feeling just unreal," Dunne told TODAY on Monday. "I'm still trying to get my voice back from cheering so loud. It was an unforgettable experience, and I'll probably be thinking about it for the rest of my life."
Dunne, who didn't perform during the national championships, built a vast online following during her four years at LSU. She now must decide whether to use her fifth year of athletic eligibility.
The 21-year-old said she hasn't given much thought to her decision, but winning a championship "definitely makes me want to come back."
