Ever since we got into cooking on the Big Green Egg back in 1999, we have met some of the nicest people in cities and towns across North America. We have formed friendships and bonds that will last the rest of our lives, all because of the Big Green Egg.
We try to attend Eggfests as often as possible. This is where we Eggheads gather to enjoy cooking and sharing recipes with old friends and new friends as the number of Eggheads grows.
The latest Eggfest was in Texarkana, Texas, on October 1st. Most of us out-of-towners went up a day or two early and returned home on Sunday. It's about a five hour drive for us. The host dealer, Dot's Ace Hardware, went out of their way to make us feel welcome to Texarkana and provided us with Big Green Eggs to cook on.
There were approximately twenty cooking teams prepared to cook enough food to serve up to 600 local residents who were curious about the Big Green Egg. Yes, we all worked fast and furious to feed them and eventually we had more food than empty stomachs. We filled them up with a wide range of delightful dishes just to show them how well the Big Green Egg cooks food. At least 22 visitors purchased Big Green Eggs and will now begin to have the kind of fun we have when we cook our our Eggs.
As always, we had a lot of fun, met a lot of people and introduced Egg'n to a community that loves good food just like everyone else.
I put together a little video of some photos I took during breaks. Enjoy...
