Midfielder Byron Schammer took some time out earlier this season to try his hand at cooking and represent the AFL in a battle of the codes in an episode of Network Ten’s Ready, Steady, Cook.

Byron joined resident RSC chef Janelle Bloom to compete against fellow resident RSC chef Damien Heads and NRL State of Origin veteran Brett Kimmorley from the Cronulla Sharks.

In an inspired culinary display by the 22 year old, Byron and Janelle were given 20 minutes to create a four course meal from five mystery ingredients in a bid to impress the studio audience more than what Damien and Brett could muster.

Byron can be seen in the kitchen when Ready, Steady, Cook airs at 2.00pm this Friday on Network Ten.
