Oklahoma - Steve Largent

Oklahoma - Steve Largent

Steve Largent is the original white guy receiver with swag so, it's only right that he holds the throne for the state of Oklahoma. Ironically, some NFL greats including Wes Welker, Dan Hampton, Lee Roy Selmon, and more hail from the state. During his two-year stint at the University of Tulsa, Largent stacked up some ridiculous stats raking in 28 touchdowns and 1,884 receiving yards. Somehow, his efforts went unnoticed by NFL scouts as he was drafted 117th overall in the fourth round of the 1976 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers.

After four preseason games with the Oilers, the organization was preparing to cut the 5'11 wide receiver but later decided to trade him to the Seattle Seahawks, a brand new expansion at the team. Largent went on to play fourteen seasons with the Seahawks becoming the team's most productive receiver to date and the team's first-ever Pro Bowl representative. The 7x Pro Bowler is the first receiver in NFL history to make 100 touchdown receptions and is tied at ninth in all-time touchdown receptions with Tim Brown. While Largent wasn't known for his speed, his hands were some of the most dependable the NFL has ever seen.

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.

IV

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.
