Offseason catch-up: Dallas Cowboys' Jalen Brooks on becoming his teammates' chef
Briefly

Dallas Cowboys player Jalen Brooks stands out in the offseason by not only cooking for himself but also preparing meals for his teammates. Growing up in a culinary-focused environment, Brooks took to cooking at a young age. This offseason, he’s had teammates over to share his creations, demonstrating his passion for food and family traditions. With a well-equipped kitchen and culinary creativity, he makes diverse dishes, like ribs and spicy lobster pasta, and entertains his peers. Brooks expresses interest in pursuing cooking professionally after football, highlighting his culinary dedication and talent.
"I first started cooking and making stuff when I was around 12. I started making full meals when I was around 16...my neighbor, Ben Taylor, I was always at his house. He taught me how to grill, and now we could probably have a grill-off."
"I go in my kitchen and I'm just inspired to cook something very nice every single time. I finally got a gas stove. I got me a nice patio. I got a nice grill, it's a third charcoal, third grill, third smoker."
"It's 10 out of 10, for real," said Jonathan Mingo, fellow wide receiver who has enjoyed Brooks' cooking. "Brooks has long had a passion for culinary arts..."
"That's definitely a passion, for sure. I'd probably do the chef thing on the side," Brooks mentioned regarding his culinary ambitions beyond football.
