Braun joked that being a guest judge was his chance to “stay relavant” with his kids (aged 3, 7, & 9), who have no memory of his MLB playing days.
“The baseball thing doesn’t register as much as being on Top Chef,” he laughed.
The episode was filmed last September, while the team was on a road trip. Braun, a self-proclaimed foodie, was impressed with the dishes created by the cheftestants.
“They came up with some great stuff,” Braun said. “I was incredibly impressed.”
