Omaha native Erin Wishon doesn’t put on pads or call plays for the Chiefs, but she plays a big role in making sure the team is ready to go.
- I hopped on a zoom with the team’s Senior Executive Chef — who’s in Vegas ahead of her fourth Super Bowl.
- “I fell in love with the atmosphere, the energy of the fans on gameday, that constant strive for greatness in the daily life…it’s great to have people around you that feel the same way.”
- Wishon has served the team six to seven days a week, year-round, for parts of 13 years.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
“I always joke that I’m not really a fan I’m just very supportive of my work environment and coworkers,” Wishon laughed.
Wishon has been cooking for her ‘co-workers’ for quite some time — even before the Chiefs were cooking.
“There’s a major culture change. I kind of left during the negative years and then I came back in coach reid’s second year. Just a completely different environment. The energy in the room is different.”
She responsible for fueling that energy.
