Jeremy Wariner: can cook, will cook

World 400m champion Jeremy Wariner is a big fan of the Food Network and enjoys cooking in his downtime. Spikesmag.com put on its apron and delved into the American sprinter’s pantry to talk sautéed chicken and other food-related stuff…

Hi Jeremy, we hear you are budding chef?

JW: I try to be (laughs). 

How did you develop a passion for cooking?

JW: Probably, when I moved out on my own. I left college and it's then you’ve got to learn to cook for yourself. I started to watch cooking shows a bit and learned some techniques. I really started to enjoy it and it’s something I like to do – it’s better than going out to eat bad food. 

Are you a good cook?

JW: I’ve been told I am. A lot of my friends have told me that. I like to cook for my family and friends.
