Rajon Rondo will play co-host with Shannon Allen on her cooking show, "The Pre-Game meal." Shannon dished on what the episode will feature: 

“He helped me prepare the unfried, crispy, baked chicken,” Shannon said in an e-mail. “I also made cornbread, 'go green beans,' and a less-sweet than usual version of a traditional southern specialty, sweet tea. Rondo is from Louisville, Kentucky, and grew up on some serious homespun Southern cuisine. I tried to incorporate a healthy twist on some of his favorites.”

In each episode, Shannon and her guest sit and talk over the meal they’ve made.

“Rajon and I chat… about food, what’s important to him on and off the basketball court and learn about his personal 'pregame meal,' as well as his thoughts about diet and exercise.”

Most of the dishes Shannon will make are hers – developed over 15 years of cooking for her kids and her famously health-conscious husband. In that time, she’s gleaned some “serious kitchen wisdom,” she says, from family and friends, especially her mother-in-law, the ever courtside Flo Allen-Hopson.

Other show recipes come from Shannon’s guests, which include celebrity chefs – Lydia Shire, Ming Tsai – local foodie personalities, Boston athletes, and the sisterhood of athletes’ wives. (source)
