30. Kansas City Chiefs

30. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs is another NFL franchise on the rise in today's professional football climate. The performance of second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes II has provided the franchise with the spark that they needed to help the team rise to prominence once again. Not only did he put on a dazzling display of trick throws and impossible completions, but Mahomes also racked up 50 touchdowns and put up 5,097 yards in the regular season alone this year.

It looks like the Chiefs have found a franchise quarterback in the 23-year-old from here on out. Unfortunately, prior to the beginning of the season, the Chiefs' overall fan engagement was one of the worst in the entire NFL. Despite ending the 2017-18 NFL season with a division-topping record of 10-6, the organization was unable to corral fans into supporting their success. With the arrival of Patrick Mahomes, things are sure to change for the franchise come next season. The Kansas City Chiefs ranked 29th in fan equity, 28th in social equity, and 28th in road equity.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
