Three Players Try to Sauté a Victory with Their Wives as Judges

Three Baltimore Orioles players will trade in their bats and gloves for pots and pans at ESPN Zone’s inaugural Orioles Cook-Off on Tuesday, July 28 at 11:30 a.m. The event will benefit the Maryland Food Bank.

Orioles pitcher Jeremy Guthrie, second baseman Brian Roberts and catcher Gregg Zaun will try to outdo each other in the kitchen, with 30 minutes to create their culinary masterpieces. An Orioles broadcaster will emcee the event and The Bird will attend.

A panel of judges—including the players’ wives—will critique the creations based on taste, presentation, and creativity. The winner will receive a prize package and his signature dish will be added to ESPN Zone’s menu.

Fans interested in attending the Orioles Cook-Off can purchase tickets by calling 410-685-3776 ext. 223 or by emailing comments@espnzone.com. Tickets cost $50 for adults and $30 for kids 12 and under. Admission includes a lunch buffet, an ESPN Zone game card and autographed giveaways. Fans will also have the opportunity to ask the players questions and win assorted prizes, including the aprons off the players’ backs.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Maryland Food Bank. Guests are also encouraged to bring canned food to donate.
