Charitable event shows that real men can cook, too
But don't tell that to his former football and basketball teammates.
"Watching those shows weren't popular [for boys] back then," said Favors, a high school wrestling coach and owner of a courier service.
Today, Favors, 47, knows his way around a kitchen.
On Sunday, Favors, of Stone Mountain, will be among the 100 or so metro men participating in the 12th annual Real Men Cook for Charity event at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center. Participants will also include restaurants and caterers. Proceeds help two metro Atlanta nonprofits: STAND, which offers treatment of substance abuse and helps men who are coming out of prison; and The Lead Foundation, a youth leadership development and college prep program.
The purpose of the event is to showcase African-American men in a positive light doing things for their families and communities, said Diane Larche', the Atlanta event manager. "It's a way to bring the family together on Father's Day to celebrate these men, who can be biological fathers as well as mentors and coaches."
Similar celebrations will be held across the nation. The event was started in 1989 by Kofi Moyo and Yvette Moyo-Gillard to recognize men on Father's Day.
Favors usually makes it a family affair involving his sons and two daughters. This year, he will make a dish that he describes as "Italian soul. Every year I try to create something a little bit different."
The event raises money for charity, although the cooks do compete and win prizes.
Don't tell that to the men on Sunday, though.
"We all have that testosterone," joked Favors. "So there is competition."
