🏈 WPXI: A couple of Steelers cooked meals for cancer patients and survivors on Tuesday.Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton put their culinary skills to use in collaboration with UPMC Hillman and UPMC Magee.

They were joined by UPMC chefs to cook a three-course meal in a competition.

Chef Brett Stewart said the event is a good reminder for patients that eating healthy can give them a boost during a hard time.

β€œYou are what you eat. I know it’s an old saying but it’s also one of the most genuine sayings you can ever think of,” said Stewart. β€œThe fruits and the vegetables, once they get in your system, the vibrancy that comes from that is a real thing.”

Herbig said the event was personal to him.

β€œThere’s been people in my life that had breast cancer, specifically my grandmother. She battled that for a long time and she finally beat it. Just seeing such a strong woman like her go that and come through the other side is just an inspiration to me,” Herbig said.
