They said audition. I said preparation. 🔪

Watch party recap is here and y’all have been asking — so I’m breaking down exactly how I prepped for the Home Chef audition episode. 

Spoiler: an offensive lineman does NOT walk into anything unprepared.

Game week mentality. Know your ingredients like you know your assignments. And when you’re 6’8”? The counters are low, the pans are small, but the reach advantage is very real. 😂

Watched it back with you guys and loved every second. This journey has been nothing like anything I’ve done before — and that’s saying something after 12 years in the NFL.

Thank you for rocking with me. More to come. 🔥
