Nats Host Grill-Off at Nationals Park
If you're a fan of cooking shows, you're going to want to get to the ballpark early this weekend. The Nats and Levy Restaurants are teaming up with Food Network to bring the first-ever Grill-Off to Nationals Park.
Phil Bucco, Levy Restaurant's chef at Nationals Park, will compete with Teddy Folkman, Executive Chef and co-owner of Granville Moore's Gastropub. Folkman was a Next Food Network Star finalist this season. He will be joined by fellow finalist Eddie Gilbert, who will emcee the event.
You can catch the Grill Off at the Nats Family Fun Area prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs. Get there early and you may be selected to be a guest judge! The competition begins at noon with plates to be judged at 1:00 p.m. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m.
The Grill-Off will be typical of today's competitive cooking reality shows. The chefs will not know which ingredients they will work with until the challenge begins. The dishes will be prepared using grills provided by Strosniders Hardware Stores.
Washington Post Food Editor Joe Yonan, WTTG Sports Anchor Dave Ross, and two Nationals fans selected from the audience will judge the dishes.
