In fact, he prefers to keep things healthy at home with whole grains and lots of greens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">\u201cI eat out less at restaurants than anybody you\u2019ve ever met, because I do a lot of that on [the show],\u201d the Food Network Star told PEOPLE. \u201cMy favorite thing to do in the world is cook [at home.]\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">And despite the fame he\u2019s garnered from his culinary talent, Fieri says that was never the goal. \u201cI wasn\u2019t supposed to be on TV; I don\u2019t know how that happened. That has been great, but what I really love to do is cook.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">And that\u2019s just what Fieri did on Friday evening at Harvard Stadium in Boston, MA, where he hosted the second annual Guy Cooking with Best Buddies Celebrity Chef Food and Wine Festival. The organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">Also part of the evening was the annual Best Buddies Football Challenge, co-hosted by Tom Brady. Playing quarterback for both teams, Brady brought his son Jack onto the field to rumble with fellow players like Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola (whose girlfriend Olivia Culpo was also present), as well as a bevy of other current and former Pats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">\u201cIt\u2019s such a special event, and it\u2019s grown so much It\u2019s great because everything we do is focused on these wonderful, wonderful people,\u201d the NFL star told the audience, who hopped from food station to food station featuring chefs from top Boston restaurants like Davio\u2019s Northern Italian Steakhouse, Mike\u2019s City Diner, and Rino\u2019s Place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">Brady also used his golden arm to throw 25 footballs into audience to eager bidders for the price of $2,000 each\u2014the cost it takes to send two Best Buddies to a special leadership conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"added-to-list1\">To read the full story click <a href=\"http:\/\/Brady also used his golden arm to throw 25 footballs into audience to eager bidders for the price of $2,000 each\u2014the cost it takes to send two Best Buddies to a special leadership conference.\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday June 2 Fieri hosted the second annual Guy Cooking with Best Buddies Celebrity Chef Food and Wine Festival.
