Tom Brady Tells Maxim He Loves Grandma’s Biscuits, Hanging With Gronk

Tom Brady is Mr. Clean Eating — except when it comes to grandma’s biscuits.

In an interview with Maxim, the New England Patriots quarterback talked about his love of his grandmother’s holiday biscuits and how he used to get in trouble for not eating dinner but rather overloading on the special treats.

“I have this tradition: My grandma has a biscuit recipe she always made for us as kids and every holiday I would always look forward to her biscuits and they were always so good and now that I moved away from California where I grew up, I’m kind of the designated biscuit maker,” Brady told Maxim. “It’s not super secret but it’s also something she did when I was a kid I looked forward to. I would just skip dinner and eat biscuits, forget turkey, just give me 12 biscuits. My dad would be like, ‘Tommy, you can’t just eat biscuits!'”

Brady also talked about his love of fashion, how he has no time for gadgets, and how he tries to make time to hang out with Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski.

“There’s not as much time to hang out and there’s a little bit of an age difference, not significant, but we spend so much time together at the football facility so in the off-season we definitely spend some time together,” Brady said. “But I’m not out on the party circuit like him, like I used to be. I had my time doing that. You know he’s a single guy, and he gets to do all the things that are fun in Boston and he travels around, but he’s definitely fun. He’s a great guy, he’s a great person!”
