So What's A Green Egg Fest?

Well, let's start with the Egg.  It's a big green ceramic smoker/grill that has been around for at least 2,000 years.  It's called a Big Green Egg, and those who own Big Green Eggs are called Eggheads.

We Eggheads take great pride in our Eggs and love to show them off every chance we get, especially when there a good reason to hold an Eggfest.

This is a picture of the 2014 Texas Eggfest in Austin.  Over 1,000 Tasters showed up for that one.

And this is a photo of some Salmon I cooked at home on my Mini Big Green Egg

A few of us volunteer to serve as Cooks so that Tasters (that would be the public) can come and meet some real live Eggheads, sample some of the food, ask questions about recipes and the Big Green Egg,  and perhaps even start the process of becoming an Egghead.

Some local celebrity BBQ cooks will also be cooking on other types of cookers.

There will be all kinds of food items you can taste.  And all are delicious.

Many of these Eggfests are held to benefit a local project or program that needs funding to keep doing good things.  Such is the case with the Jefferson Carnegie Library, a historical landmark that literally helped build the area into a thriving  community from its earliest days.

So I guess you could say, a Green Egg Fest is an event where you can enjoy the day and do a good deed for your community.

So come on out and join the fun.  You won't go home hungry and you might end up becoming an Egghead one day.
