How fun is this idea...four Nats players competing in a 30minute cookoff. I love it.
The Washington Nationals will trade in their playbooks for cookbooks and leave the ballpark for the kitchen for a cook-off at ESPN Zone on Friday, January 23rd at 8 p.m.
Scheduled to compete: pitchers Joel Hanrahan, Terrell Young, and John Lannan, and outfielder Willie Harris.
Nationals manager Manny Acta will headline a panel of judges, who will critique the players’ creations based on taste, presentation, and creativity. The cook-off, which will be emceed by broadcaster Charlie Slowes, is open to the public.
Doors open 6:30pm; first 30 fans will get authentic game-used line-up cards. Guests are invited to bring canned food to donate to DC-area food banks. Those who do will receive a free $5 game card.

The Scoreboard Gourmet will not be attending this event because though she may seem to be a 10-year-old boy she also has the interests of an old woman and will be at the theatre. Also, she bought the theatre tickets before she heard about the cookoff. But you should go, DC-area readers. This has to be more enjoyable than a Nats game.
