What's In Your Egg? (for Eggtoberfest)

SmokinTiger81

We are about 8 weeks out from Eggtoberfest, so just curious—who is cooking and what is your potential menu lineup?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

For GaMtnFest we cooked ABT’s, Cuban Sandwiches with Mexican Street Corn, and Thin Crust Grilled Pizzas.

For Eggtoberfest, Cubans are out since no way to do lo/slo overnight on the Cuban Pork Shoulder, and no electricity for finishing them in sandwich press.  So, for right now the Smokin Tiger preliminary Eggtoberfest lineup is:

1)       ABT’s finished with raspberry chipotle pepper sauce

2)       Cast Iron Skillet Shrimp and Grits

3)      Variety of Thin Crust Grilled Pizzas.

 

Lookin forward to seeing what you will be cooking!

No grilled chicken?  

Looks like a great lineup!  Would love to try those ABTs.

Not at Eggtoberfest, saving my chicken cooking for the Saturday after Thanksgiving

agriffin--one question--when you unplug it due to lid opening--what do you unplug-the power to the whole control unit?  or just unplug the fan cord from the control unit?

Sorry, that last post was for another thread--my bad

was planing on pork shoulder but found out cook goes from 8am till 3pm so no low and slow pork so I think that im going to do several different types of beer can chicken like one with beer another with a wine herb mixture maybe another with a garlic herb butter mix  not exactly sure but I know for sure that it will be whole chickens they only need about 1 1/2 to 2 hours cooking time  and then I will be able to go out and about sampling other cooks food and chat and pick the chef's brains

Thinking about cooking Brunswick stew but i'll have to cook the meats at home and warm them on the egg at the fiest. Also thinking of apple dumpling rolls and Mississippi Prime Rib. Maybe Bang Bang chicken kebabs.

We have not finalized out menu yet :(

looking forward to a great day

mr toad

my grandson, jacob - sr at south carolina is coming to cook with us - this will be fun

Charlesmaneri

you southern boys have a advantage as Flyflinger said cook at home and warm up at the eggtoberfeast  ,me im driving down to Georgia from Long Island N.Y. so whatever I cook it has to be done from raw ,Im just saying !!!!!

SmokinTiger81

@charles--you make us southern cooks sound like we are bringing TV dinners to the eggfest--LOL.  I think the problem is the event organizer is not set up to let anyone do overnight cooks--they need to fix this. 

 In contrast, the GaMtnFest in May does let you come in and start night before if you want to, so there I was able to smoke a pork shoulder overnight and then use fresh pulled pork for cuban sandwiches.  Definitely not a TV dinner.

I'll bet even a TV dinner would be good on an Egg. Just saying.

@SmokingTiger81 I agree 100% I was planning on doing a pork shoulder but time constraints will not allow that so I think I'm doing some beer can Chickens I should be able to do them in like 11/2 time

It all sounds so good!

I hope everyone has so much fun at the Eggtoberfest. I wish I could be there...but maybe I'll be in a better position to attend next year...and by then, I'll have made friends here who I can meet in person! That's something to look forward to.

I'm looking forward to reading about how it all goes. Good luck everyone and have the best time!

wow...I'm so happy that I'm going this year!  The food sounds amazing and I really look forward to making friends to continue my new BBQ journey! 

Does anyone know if professional teams cook during the Eggfest?

Thanks again!!!

What do you mean--we are all professionals, we just don't get paid. Lol. I do know 2 years ago Dr. BBQ was there doing some demos.

 Usually the Canadian & Danish Natl teams show up...Dr BBQ, Chris Cappel of Dizzy Pig & a few others should be there...
