Chrissy Teigen Divulges the Meal She Cooked for Football Players Before Every Game
While other stars are only heading to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Summer Games, Chrissy Teigen added an excursion to her getaway and is taking a trip down memory lane.
In an exclusive preview of the upcoming Peacock original series, Olympic Highlights hosted by actors and comedians Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson, Teigen fondly recalled one of the meals she cooked her high school football team before every game.
While discussing the topic of the Olympic Village and the massive responsibility its 200 chefs have been tasked with, which includes "preparing 40,000 meals per day" to feed thousands of athletes from across the globe, Hart asked the three-time cookbook author, "What meals would you make for the athletes?"
Teigen, now 38, explained that she had already completed this job as a cheerleader in high school.
"One of our duties was to feed the football team right before every game," she said. "We made spaghetti and meatballs for the football team every Friday."
The memory left at least one of the hosts less than impressed.

"Spaghetti?" Hart said with a smirk. "So y'all didn't want them to win?"
The trio shared a laugh before it dawned on Teigen that the 45-year-old Borderlands actor may have been onto something. "I never put that together, but we really didn't win."
Her confession only led to even more jokes about the teenage chef's cooking skills. "The whole second string is sleeping," Thompson, 46, quipped. (Though, three-time Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce would likely disagree as the man appears to love pasta–especially gnocchi–any day of the week.)
While the former athletes at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit alum's alma mater may not have the medal count of Team USA, high school sports are just meant to be fun–right?
