Recap: Grillfest 2011

As I mentioned earlier, I spent the day on Saturday demonstrating how to cook on the Big Green Egg, answering questions from current & prospective owners, and helping the local dealer with their big spring event.

I had the two Big Green Eggs lit by 7:15am, and the first side of ribs went on by 7:30am.  I staggered the start times of baby back ribs, so that we had finished samples at staggered times later in the day.  We then put biscuits & sausage on the XL Big Green Egg and the early attendees were treated to breakfast.

The rest of the day, we kept a steady supply of ABT's, spatchcocked chickens, pork steaks, pizza, and bacon wrapped meatballs on the grills.  By 8:00pm, my dogs were screaming and I was glad to pack it in and call it a day. 

By all accounts, the dealer had a good sales day and collected quite a lot of canned goods for their food drive.

I'm pretty confident that we made converts of quite a few grill buyers.  Mission Accomplished!

Well have I got an opportunity for you! I'll be cooking a fundraiser on June 4th for an organization called Jacob's Ladder. Would love to take you up on your offer.

Cheers.

I wish that our Egg store was more active like this. I need to approach them about it.
