On May 5th I traveled to Waldorf Md for the 2007 Eggfest. An Eggfest is a festival put on by a distributor of Big Green Eggs to help spread the awareness of the Egg.
The Eggfest in Waldorf is sponsored by Seasonal Distributors. Many different people cook on demo Eggs throughout the day, and then the demo eggs are sold at a discounted price. I was able to see many friends of mine that I have met over the years on the BBQ circuit. It was also a great time to meet some of the Big Green Egg forum users face to face.
My Dad, Mike Hess also made the trip down to the Eggfest, with my little brother and sister. Dad enjoyed seeing all the new ways he could use his Egg. He also found the solution to cooking multiple racks of ribs on his Egg.
The competition rig of the Wimer's was also really cool to see in person. The way all four of the XL models look inside their trailer is amazing. There were also other teams represented such as Dizzy Pig, BBQ Guru, and Free Range BBQ to name a few. Also Ray Lampe AKA Dr. BBQ was set up next to Dizzy Pig cooking on one of the demo Eggs. It was a pleasure to meet Dr. BBQ and get both my book and Dad's book signed by Ray.
The Eggfest was a great time and experience to see how many different uses there are for the Egg. It was nice to be an observer this year and I will hopefully cook for the next Eggfest.
Nice write up of the egg fest. Glad your little bro and sis could get exposed to their first BBQ fest. Your dad will use the triple rack this weekend to cook six racks of ribs at once for our Memorial Day BBQ.
