Even though the highly-anticipated matchup between the Knicks and Nets didn't happen on Nov. 1, the two teams were represented in a rivalry off the court that week.

Tyson Chandler and Jerry Stackhouse battled it out in the kitchen on Oct. 30 during a first-time segment on Rachael Ray's show called "Courtside Cook-Off." With Knicks legend and MSG analyst Walt Frazier as the judge, each player cooked their specialty. Chandler made enchiladas with a twist -- "it's almost kind of like a cross between lasagna and an enchilada" -- and Stackhouse made his "Stackhouse Burger" with a special onion mix.

Chandler: "I've always loved to eat, so if you love to eat, you've got to know how to cook a little bit. One of the great things about being in the kitchen is that I'm so agile on the court, and I bring that same aggressiveness to the kitchen."

Stackhouse: "I've been cooking since I was probably five or six years old. I learned from my mom. She was a short-order cook."

At a charity event in SoHo Wednesday night, Stackhouse told ESPNNewYork.com that the experience was a great way to branch out and do something different with Chandler.

"I think he's a great guy. We have the same agent and what not," Stackhouse said. "It was a chance to get to show a different side of us. Being able to not just have basketball fans, but Rachael Ray fans, I think people look at us now and think, 'I remember Jerry and Tyson from the show. Let me check into what they're doing now.'"
