Schmidt is the Terps' Top Chef?
Friday’s edition of The Sun included an article on junior defenseman Brett Schmidt, who leads No. 5 Maryland’s defense this season.
Schmidt, who likes to get into the hands and heads of his opponents, apparently is quite good with his hands when it comes to cooking. Schmidt, a self-described "health freak," said he tends to cook most of his meals at the house that he shares with fellow defensmen Max Schmidt (no relation) and Ryder Bohlander.
"Since I got to college, I’ve loved cooking for myself," Brett Schmidt said. "I just like eating healthy, so I can make whatever I want."
Schmidt said his favorite dish is chicken. Chicken alfredo, grilled chicken, chicken with a lemon marinade – you name it, Schmidt can probably make it. "I make a hundred different chicken dishes," he promised.
Does Schmidt make anything else? "I’ll mix it up, but chicken is my go-to," he said. "If I were to live off of one thing for the rest of my life, it would definitely be chicken."
Bohlander conceded that Schmidt is the house chef, but Bohlander also said that Schmidt is the messiest roommate.
"He’s a little ADD. So you’ve got to stay on top of him and make sure he does his stuff," Bohlander said. "Cleaning up, leaving his pans around. The dishwasher will be full, and it’s just him from one night. You’ve got to keep on top of him about that kind of stuff."
Schmidt disputed that claim. "I don’t know where all of my roommates get that from," he said. "I do most of my dishes. They’ll get on me if I leave one plate or one piece of silverware out. I guess that’s my reputation that I have around the house, but I don’t think I’m that bad."
