Pretty standard. I look at the raffles as a bonus as the real prize is all the great techniques you can learn from numerous eggheads. Try to enjoy the food and meet some great people!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Damn. Sorry you felt that way about it. I'm not sure how they decide who is eligible for the eggs. My first year, it was cooks only, last year it was everybody (and people complained) and I don't know what it was this year, but I know I didn't win one. Me and Mrs, G both won some stuff. I see it as a chance to meet fellow Eggheads in person, try some food and have a good time in general. Prizes are just a bonuse. I'm gonna apologize in advance of this question, but were you able to stop by tent and visit? Hard to remember when I ended up meeting so many people and got real names and forum names (from both forums) and people who never post but lurk. God, i musta talked to over 200 people today, so if you could refresh my memory. I hope I got to talk to you and spent some time. Its hard when so many people are coming up asking questions and talking and you are trying to cook as well. Did you have a good time otherwise?

Personally had a great time at the Plano Eggfest. Got to put some faces with posters! My only suggestion would be for the cooks to have their recipes available in print. Tasted some really good food. Didn't win anything, but had some cold beer from the American Legion!Griffin - really enjoyed the swamp balls!Will be better prepared next year and bring chairs. Might even decide to sign up to cook!
Large BGE, 2 Tier Adjustable Swing Rack System, three (3) bricks from Home Depot for raised direct, Blackstone 22" Griddle - Finally have a decent cooking area!

@Scott805 - suggestion noted. Swamp balls are on my site, pizza will be next week, no recipe for chili. It was tweaked all day long till we were happy with it. Next year, I'll try and print recipes.

I'm still cruising away happy. Cursed the gods and kept going! I've got a large egg in the back - it didn't even get used! Wife's picking up treats at Paradise Bakery at then we head out. Had a good time
Griffith. - I stopped by your spot a few times - big guy in a brown shirt - when you were doing breakfast.
I'll just ha e to learn enough to come back next year and cook!
Have a good weekend all! -
So Griffin, maybe I missed it but eat did you end up cooking? I know you had something special to reveal in Plano.Clarendon Hills, IL

Then I saw a sign that said two of the three drawings would be limited to the cooks (1:00 and 3:00). Well, damn. So, made sure I was there for the 2:00 drawing and found out the 2:00 was limited to the cooks as well. Asked the announcer about it and he said only cooks could win the eggs. Maybe this aggravated me more that it should, but the raffle didn't seem to match up with the announcements.

My first Eggfest: winning one of the three BGE door prizes would have been a treat, but as a prospective BGE buyer, it was a great event regardless to get perspectives in person / thanks to Mr. & Mrs Hornhonk for their effort to put it on.I really appreciated all the Egghead cooks who were so generous with their time to answer all my questions about ownership (especially @Lake Conroe Egger, @loco_engr, Ron L., @Popsicle, Dan. G. and others) --- not to mention the amazing samples they turned out and kindly shared, to show the power of the BGE! (my shirt still has the sweet smoky smell from Frank C.'s sublime lamb chops!)I hope to soon take advantage of the EPP that I mentioned; looking forward to joining the cult of the Egg!

steven is cranky tonight. It's snowing like a bear North of Toronto so we should give him a break. Or not. He obviously has no idea what happens at an eggfest in TX when he lives off of pelt trading and reconditioning snow machine parts (when he is not selling himself into sin to indigenous peoples on seal hunts) .Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Newegg13 just likes to argue. He does it for a living. He once tried to convince me that he could do a longer keg stand than I could.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

I appreciate that CT. It's just this waiting for the ice to form so I can go and club some baby seals that makes me cranky. Sorry

I thought the cookie dough stuffed jalapeno wrapped in bacon was the most original idea. Maybe next year I'll drag my new eff down there and cook :-)

I hope those weren't "mouth-splinters".
