Buffalo Bills - Bruce Smith

Buffalo Bills - Bruce Smith

O.J. Simpson is probably the most famous Buffalo Bill player, but for all of the wrong reasons. However, the title for the New York-based franchise's greatest athlete goes to none other than former defensive end, Bruce Smith. If you haven't seen Bruce Smith play, let's just say that he'd be getting a lot of flags in today's NFL. Smith's 6'4, 280lbs frame was relentless when it came to hunting down quarterbacks and thrusting his entire body into theirs with no remorse.

Following his final season at Virginia Tech University where he became known as 'The Sack Man' he took his talents to the big leagues where he was drafted first overall in the 1985 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Smith played his most prominent years with the Buffalo Bills for an insane fifteen seasons before taking his talents to the Washington Redskins in 2000 where he would play four seasons before retiring in 2003. Smith was an important piece to the Bills' four consecutive Super Bowl appearances from 1990-1993 and currently holds the NFL record for career sacks with 200. The 11x Pro Bowler was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2009.

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.
