Cincinnati Bengals - Anthony Munoz

Cincinnati Bengals - Anthony Munoz

The offensive linemen got to get some love on our greatest player from each franchise list. Sorry, Chad 'OchoCinco' Johnson the honor of being the Cincinnati Bengals greatest player of all-time belongs to offensive tackle, Anthony Munoz. Munoz is not only the greatest Bengal to date, but he's also arguably the greatest offensive lineman of all-time. His poise, ability to move laterally on his toes and remain balanced is something that just can't be taught.

Munoz was not only a bulldozer on the football field while attending the University of Southern California, he also had a nice arm pitching for USC's national championship team in 1978. Obviously, Munoz elected to play football professionally and was selected 3rd overall in the 1980 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals where he would play the majority of his NFL career. In 185 starts, Munoz would go on to start 182 times. Only Jerry Rice has more First-Team All-Pro honors them he has (9) and Munoz was a crucial contributor to both Bengal Super Bowl runs in Super Bowl XVI and XXIII.

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.
