Tennessee - Jerry 'The King' Lawler

Tennessee - Jerry 'The King' Lawler

Jerry 'The King' Lawler's championship reign in his home state of Tennessee allowed him to become a regional superstar to the point he didn't need to crossover to the WWF/E until the latter years of his career. As a member of the American Wrestling Association, Lawler is a 52-time AWA Southern Heavyweight Champion, a ten-time AWA Southern Tag Team Champion, two-time WCWA World Heavyweight Champion, and so much more.

The King has an endless amount of accolades to list but he's also made himself out to be one of the greatest heel announcers the WWF/E has ever seen. His unique voice helped shape an era throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Jerry 'The King' Lawler was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 and he barely had to set foot in the ring. However, he did suffer a heart attack in 2012 while doing color commentary ringside, since then he's taken a step back from the wrestling realm.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
