What is your favorite thing you've cooked on your Egg?

I'm not talking what is your favorite cut of meat, or meal to cook on the grill, I'm saying which single item( or single meal) was the best cook you ever did on your Egg?
So my question to you, if you can remember or narrow it down to just one: if you had to think back at everything you've cooked, and choose only one to say was your greatest, what would it be?

its all good but would have to say Turkey, brined it over night, spatched it and used hickory chunks when i smoked it.
-
Another vote for Turkey. Although I'm impressed with everything that comes off the Egg.

Not sure yet. Still finding my way through lots of food.Bx - > NJ ->TX!!!All to get cheaper brisket!
-
A low and slow shoulder clod has been my favorite as of yet, although chicken cooked on a vertical holder is hard to beat.
-
My new favorite is wings.

Turbo pulled pork. I discovered pulled pork late in life a couple of years ago at Spring Chickens house for the first time. Raised on brisket I had no idea how good and EASY to make.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.
-
Low and slow Pulled Pork and Spatchcock Chicken are my favorites.

Love to wrestle with brisket flats in part because the window for true success is so narrow-best I can recall was May of 2011-and yes I cook one about every 4-5 weeks so it has been a while since I hit that homerun. All good but that was the best.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Maybe crab cakes with chipotle chiles and corn, or perhaps snapper ponchartrain, but then I really liked Jalapeño Shrimp Rumaki with Szechuan sauce, oh wait, the Scaloppine al Marsala was to die for ..... and then there was .......I guess my point is that I don't have one special cook. I have had more than my share of disasters, but also, I've cooked many things better than any restaurant I've eaten at.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

sticking with your original request of one single item I did a pulled pork once that was so moist and so tasty that everyone just sat there eating and couldn't say a word. Everyone just looked at each other. We knew it was special, Have not been able to reproduce it since.

Impossible to answer. I love pizza, and stuffed peppers are certainly one of the best. While not necessarily my favorite, I cooked 8 ribeyes for the new (daughter's) in-laws, and I believe they were the most tender and flavorful steaks I've ever done.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -
Whole 14 lb turkey, 15 lb brisket, and 14 lb pork butt have been my big winners. Never had a bad cook in 3 years, but I am a fussbudget when it comes to being consistent. Do not ever try to hurry a cook, you will forget something and that $40 brisket will be a mess.Simple ingredients, amazing results!

Some of my cooks.Simple ingredients, amazing results!

I would have to say the Boston Butt and Spatchcock Chicken.

Pulled pork or maybe ribs. I didn't do pulled pork before I had the Egg. Ribs come out really good, to the point that sauce isn't always needed. Chicken/steaks/burgers aren't that much different then what I achieved with my Weber kettle.
