When it comes to Tom Brady, most people know him as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. But according to his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, he's also a culinary wizard in the kitchen. On a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Gisele shared how her husband’s breakfast-making skills have earned him high praise at home. "He's an amazing waffle maker," she said with a smile. "He makes the best waffles!"
Ellen DeGeneres couldn't help but express her surprise at Gisele's enthusiasm. "The kind that you just literally push that thing down?" Ellen joked, referring to the ease of using a toaster waffle maker. Gisele laughed and clarified that Tom's waffles are no ordinary store-bought variety. In fact, they're made from scratch, though he might have a little trick up his sleeve.
Gisele went on to reveal that Tom has a secret recipe that he's fiercely protective of. "He has this secret recipe, which I'm sure involves some kind of package or shortcut," she explained. "I've never actually seen him make it because he won't let me. He jokes around, saying, 'I can't give you the secret, or you won't need me anymore!'"

But Gisele isn't complaining. As long as the waffles taste delicious, she's perfectly content letting her husband keep his culinary secrets. "So I tell him, 'That's fine, it tastes great, I'll keep eating them!'" she said with a laugh. While she's not entirely sure if Aunt Jemima is involved, she does know that the waffles align with Tom's famously strict diet. As a professional athlete, Tom Brady follows a regimen that emphasizes low meat, high fiber, and no sugar—a lifestyle he detailed in his book The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance.
Tom Brady isn't just known for his incredible athletic ability; his dedication to maintaining peak physical condition is equally impressive. In the past, he's spoken openly about his diet, which focuses on nutrient-dense foods designed to fuel his body and minimize inflammation. "I don't plan cheat days because I actually don't believe in the idea," he explained in an interview with People last year. "The way I eat makes me feel great. But I believe in balance and moderation. If I'm in a place with incredible food, I'll absolutely try it."
However, there are certain foods that Tom strictly avoids. According to the couple's personal chef, Allen Campbell, these include tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, and eggplants. "Tomatoes trickle in every now and then, but just maybe once a month," Campbell revealed in an interview with Boston.com back in 2016. "I'm very cautious about tomatoes. They cause inflammation."
With the holiday season just around the corner, fans of Tom and Gisele might be curious about their meal plans. After all, who wouldn't want to know the secret behind those legendary waffles? Perhaps this year, the Brundchen family will share some of their healthy holiday recipes with the world, helping us all avoid overindulging during the festive season.
