On Monday afternoon, the Browns rookies took a trip down the street to BW's Center for Innovation and Growth where they were led in a cooking course by the university's dining services staff.
BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns rookies have been hard at work since arriving in Berea for their minicamp earlier this month, learning the ins and outs of the NFL—but their most recent lesson came off the field and in the kitchen as the organization partnered with Baldwin Wallace University for a"Rooks to Cooks" course.
As the rookies filed into the room and arrived at their individual cooking stations, they started off with lessons in nutrition. From there, things got competitive as the players were given six minutes to build a healthy, but gourmet, parfait. Once they were done, they had to run the dish out to their station for judging.
It was a fun-filled day with a lot of friendly competition between the teammates. A lot of pride was built along the way as well. "For me, I hope to start a family one day, and I know my kids, my wife are going to want meals and stuff like that. So for me, if I can learn now all the ins and outs of cooking and also get really good at it, I feel like I could help myself later on in the future," Thompson-Robinson said.
Chopping and slicing, frying and flipping, the Browns rookies made their stir fry dishes with the watchful eyes of BW staff. After their dishes were done, the rookies had one last challenge—plating. "It's all about the taste, the quality. And mine didn't necessarily look the best, but it for sure tastes the best. And that's all that matters," he laughed."When you go to a restaurant, you don't want something that looks nice and pretty to taste bad. You want something that's going to fill you up. And I feel like mine did that today."
