Eating Thanksgiving meal the Tom Brady way
Some pretty funny comments by two former NFL players trying to eat a meal prepared in accordance with Tom Brady's (QB New England Patriots) very rigid dietary requirements.
Katie Nolan hosts a very Brady Thanksgiving
Patriots superfan Katie Nolan hosts some of her new ESPN colleagues for a holiday meal fit for a five-time Super Bowl champion. On the menu? Recipes from Tom Brady's "TB12 Nutrition Manual," touting the wholest of foods in the healthiest of preparations. Because nothing says Turkey Day like "sustained peak performance!"

KN: You guys play sports. You ever get some of, like, the grass in your mouth by accident? That's what this tastes like.
DW: A mouthful of grass? So basically I'm grazing right now?
KN: Yes.
DW: Where's the hot sauce?
chickpea tagine with quinoa dumplings.
KN: No, I cut it and the texture was not what I was expecting. It's like if a cookie wanted to be a vegetable.
JV: But cookies can't be vegetables.
KN: Tom Brady begs to differ. You like it? It's good, right?
JV: The sauce actually isn't too bad.
DW: Are you trying to hide that in your mouth? [Laughs]
KN: I was looking for a pocket.
Another dish, The Day After Thanksgiving, is ... not a favorite, though Nolan tries to spin the sweet potato gravy: "It tastes like suntan lotion, but in the best way." So let's jump to the pumpkin pie!
