Restaurants Using BGE?

TEggSun · June 2013

I get it. It would be the most operationally inefficient way to cook for profit, but are any of you aware of restaurants in the Austin/central Texas area that actually use BGEs? For that matter, are there any restaurants anywhere that do?

There was a guy who opened a honeybaked ham shop in Lakeway area that also sold BBQ. He used an egg. He either moved or shut down pretty quick so I didn't eat there. He may be around somewhere, not sure.

In Akron, OH of all places, Edgar's Restaurant, which is on a public golf course, serves food cooked on the Egg. They serve Pork Loin, Prime Rib, Grilled Chicken, Brisket, all cooked on the Egg. The night I was there they had a thick cut smoked pork chop as a special. You walk past 3 or 4 Eggs as you enter. After eating that pork chop, first thing I ever had on an Egg, I owned one with in 2 weeks.

Here in Atlanta there is a Food Truck that uses a BGE (can't remember the name) and 2 restaurants - Muss & Turner's which had their kitchen modified to permanently use BGEs and Local Three which does some of its cooking on the patio on the BGE (both restaurants owned by the same folks). Damn fine burgers at Local Three on Saturday afternoon's (called Burger's and Brew!)

I cannot remember the name of the restaurant but there is one in Gainesville GA that uses a BGE as well.

I think it might be time for a pilgrimage to Akron, Atlanta and Gainesville.

There used to be a place in Gulfport, MS called Grate Grills & More.. They were an Egg dealer and had a restaurant as part of the place.. They have since closed.. Had some good food too. Just a tough location.

The urban cookhouse in Birmingham al use the egg to cook with. They advertise that it's awesome.

None here but our Cub Scout pack has one that gets used at all camp-outs. The grill-masters regularly cook up pork butts and briskets for 100-150 at a camp-out. The Egg isn't their only apparatus, but it added a nice touch. It was the first one I'd ever seen 'in ceramic' and I was immediately smitten. Similar to tj it was responsible for having one shortly thereafter.

Wow, I've been buying stuff from them for years and never knew that. They must have them in the back. I've seen the dining room - the place on Magazine, right? Wonder if they're on the forum.

Yep, that's the place. I don't think they are on the forum, but I saw this come across their twitter feed one day:

I have not been to one of their private dinners yet. Had to go out of town when friends had one planned. However, their meat is great and I hear the dinners are awesome.

nolaegghead · June 2013

I pretty much buy the same thing every time I'm there - the hanger steak and sometimes the flank. Good guys, great products, I'd recommend them to anyone in the NOLA area.

Cabo Bobs in austin. Pretty good.

Wildly late response, but Michelin 1 Star Restaurant, Bresca, in Washington D.C. has a BGE in their kitchen. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByoDqXeBVlK/

Our favorite local brewery (I belong to their mug club

) has an XL that used to just sit at the entrance. Last year the owner, who uses eggs at home, finally fired it up at the restaurant for daily specials. This place draws a lot of regulars during the day midweek so they really only do the egged specials for lunch and they sell fast.

Usually chicken or pork butts.

We had a restaurant here in Raleigh that used KJs, but has since gone out of business. The link below has a picture of what it used to look like.
