We had a blast at Eggtoberfest!

You know you did something correct when you have a line all day long like we did yesterday. It had to be 50 deep for most of the day. Very, very cool. We cooked so hard yesterday than I am sore today. 

It was so much fun cooking with people on our team that drove from Massachusetts (20 hours), Missouri (12), Florida (7.5), Tennessee and Georgia. Wait, and I came from Texas. These were all folks we have met online through Instagram, Twitter, etc. Our cook would not have been possible without them and they worked their tails off. @BigGreenCraig and I owe each of you!

We went with a very ambitious cook considering our main dish\contest entry was sushi. But, we were willing to take the risk to do something a little more chefy. Our maple bacon cookies, corn dog brisket bites and spanish paella seemed to be well liked.

There were so many cool moments yesterday. Finally getting to cook with my brother from another mother, Craig Tabor. (BTW, let me tell you something. That guy is passionate about Egging and can cook his ass off.) Linkie leaving her demo area just to come try our food and take a pic. A lot of people getting to test Meat Church rubs. Meeting other Eggheads that used our rubs in their cooks was totally bada$$. Meeting new friends that brewed beer with our rub and drove from Florida to bring it was so friggin cool. And finally, being literally the last people to leave Eggtoberfest because we hung out and drank some cold pops and ate leftovers for hours in the parking lot. That is why the Egghead community is so d*mn awesome!

Be on the lookout for the BGE video. We can't wait for next year. Enjoy some pics....

    Of course there were some glitches. Not being able to run a generator, rendering 6 rice cookers useless. We had to drop back and punt, but I think we pulled trough!imageimage

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
