It was called the Wild West Eggfest and was held at my BGE dealers lot. It had sort of had a block party atmosphere, and with the help from name tags the 20 or 30 cooks knew each other on a first name basis. Around a dozen brand new Eggs were fired up at 9AM yesterday and both cooks and guests munched on food until about 4PM. Because of the short time, most things were grilled, but there were a couple of roasted turkeys, and plenty of baked pizzas, both traditional and ones with flour tortilla crusts. Several pans of bruschetta and a couple of cobblers were also served
Eggfests are not a competition, they're all about meeting new folks that also cook on Eggs, serving samples to the crowd, trying new things and old favorites, and showing off. On site, my 4 man team used 2 Eggs and cooked fatties, flat irons, pizzas, planked salmon, pineapple and bananas with carmel sauce. Because there is no time for real barbecue, I smoked 2 butts all night, coolering them at 7AM for the short drive across town. I wanted to show off the other side of an Egg, namely low-n-slo smoking. We pulled it on site to the amazement of onlookers.....then made sliders, sampler trays of just pulled pork and used some on one of the pizzas.
All the food I tried was great, some racks of grilled lamb being my favorite. Naturally I had time for some photos :roll: I'll share here.
