J.J. Redick’s Twitter profile says it all: “Basketball player for the Orlando Magic. Former Duke basketball player. Lover of food.” In an offseason recovering from abdominal surgery, Redick hasn’t just been working out and going to physical therapy; he’s been visiting some of the most celebrated restaurants in the country and tweeting pictures and descriptions as he eats tacos at La Esquina in New York City and pork jowl and crème fraîche at Uchi in Austin, Texas.

Magic sharpshooter J.J. Redick is one of our favorite athletes to follow on Twitter. Why? Partly because of this exclusive interview he did with the esteemed Michael Katz, when he (jokingly? mockingly?) told S&F that he eats a “Rice Krispies Treat, right after the starting lineup, literally as the ball is being tipped.”
