During training camp, Howard and a staff of 20, had to prepare five meals a day for the hungry players, coaches and trainers.
-----
On game day, Howard and his crew began work at 4 a.m. They not only had to feed the team and staff but also cook the meals for all the people in the 84 special suites that ring Gillette Stadium. About 15 thousand meals in all.
It wasn't until halftime before they could relax and actually watch their well fed Patriots actually play.
-----
Some players had some odd requests. Troy Brown insists on a glass of pickle juice before every game.
"That was his tradition which he'd been doing since college football."
Quarterback, Tom Brady always orders raw almonds and coach Bill Belichick likes his special pretzels.

And he was appreciated a great deal!!

But you forgot this...(from the article...) certainly he will remember this!!!

"One thing is for sure, the Patriots appreciated Howard enough to share their victories in a very tangible way..with a diamond encrusted personally engraved Superbowl ring.
"It was a long two months waiting for that ring and we had a great celebration ceremony and all 200 of us were handed a Superbowl ring."
There was more jewelry to come, including this specially made Patriots watch." Classy!!!!!

Anything is possible when you specialize in pretzel cuisine.

You know everyone is making light of the special food thing but its quite common in top tier athletes so there may be something to it...Remember Boggs and his chicken wings?...and Troy Aikman was widely rumored to eat a sausage before every game....makes ya think

That's what I found most incredible about the article. That's why people always say the Kraft's run a first class organization. Must be a great place to work in. As long as you work hard, you'll see the benefits of being in a winning organization too.
