On a serious note, I missed the ABTs and I'm pissed!

Me too!  I think some items didn't achieve exit velocity from the small vicinity in which they were cooked.  Too good!

You were doing the same right next to brother yolk.  I swear I tried to save some for you both.  Swear...

Looks like a killer time! Thanks for documenting all of it!

Well what an experience it was! Kay and I had a Blast, thanks to all that cooked and came to eat and share friendship. It was a Party for sure as late in the day the Cops showed up to make us return a table that we had taken from anther pavilion that was reserved by another party. If it wasn't for the doughnut bacon grilled cheese sandwiches and the Bourbon slushy that the Cop washed down the doughnut sandwich with we would have all gone to jail........ From the mud bugs to the best ever brisket, pecan pie, tomato pie, miss piggy pork, gyro's and I'm sure something I can't remember. The best part was for sure meeting some of the most kind and giving folks one would ever want to meet. At the end of the day it's the camaraderie with Eggheads that make it all so great. Looking forward to the 2nd annual NC Butt Blast. Jim and Kay

Kudos to you Jim and Kay!  Couldn't agree more.

Ok, I'm home, everything is unloaded from the truck, some stuff still in the garage, but that can wait. I looked through my photos and I think this is the only one I have that someone else hasn't already posted.

My balls in @Thatgrimguy 's smoker. Boudin balls that is, c'mon kids, get your heads out of the gutter.


Thanks for all the compliments on the pig, glad everyone liked it. I did miss one one factor, it got way too dark. I think I know why, any guesses?


Pretty sure I used too much of @Thatgrimguy 's wood.

Anyway, thanks again @Jupiter Jim for organizing the drawing. Some of my friends came as tasters but had to leave before the drawing, so they gave me their tickets. I ended up with all this.


@bgebrent - Thanks for this, wasn't expected, but much appreciated.


I figured since I spent all weekend cooking, I might as well not stop.

Aside for Suzy's flight to France last year, on her birthday, for our marriage celebration, she said this weekend was her best.
Thank all of you for making our first BGE one of the coolest events ever. EVER! I hope when we all do #2 together ( Yeah, I did that ) more of our folks can make it.
as mentioned previously, this is Suzy's AKA "My Beautiful Wife" birthday, we left the NCBB for the Biltmore for a couple of days.
After touring the place we went to the wine shop. We did the tastings of some rather spectacular wines.
I got to share this right now, the wine we tasted here was nowhere near the wine we had shared with our friends during the final evening. I will take Barefoot and Liberty school with you all and a camp fire, over the finest anywhere else.
Thank everyone. Thanks for making our world just a whole lot better.

Just pull over and start cooking.....  You'd be the hit of the traffic jam!

Seriously, glad you made it thru Atlanta easily.  I live here and I friggin hate driving thru this town on a daily basis!

LOL Ron!  Don't let us drag down your wine preferences!  I however agree with your conclusion.  Great seeing you and Suzy.  Please, no pics from the petting zoo.

That is F'ing hilarious!  How many post grads does it take to pitch a KY tent?  A bunch, we we're in NC where they all have KY voodoo dolls.  And @nolaegghead was there. Nuff said!

there's so much wrong with that statement, I don't know where to begin.

All you guys have heard this a time or two of how darn nice @bgebrent is and all, so I will not go into much more detail about that.  

However, I thought this task I had in the back of my mind would never come to reality with Brent, but you know what, he didn't even bat an eye over converting to a UNC fan.  Crazy as hell, I know.  What a man.  

Also, Brent plans to chance his screen name because he likes his new team much better!  His new screen name is TarheelBrent.  He wrote that on his Butt Blast nametag so folks will start to recognize.   

Here is his all decked in his swag!  Shirt and hat.  Believe he said he had UNC blue skives on too!  

Here's a close up of his nametag...

Shocker!

That looks like a great event--now most the eggfests have recipe books--who is in charge of that?  I see the recipe for the mushrooms (thanks), was there one posted for the pineapple that everyone is raving about?  And seems like there were several that need to be tried. TIA.

bgebrent

Matt hew, I really appreciate the ole NC try!  Your lame ass attempt at photo shop reflects that "quality" edumacation you got there.  Just so ya know, eyes don't bat, they blink so we all know yer lying.  Cheap assed way of buying me a shirt, hell, at least you got a real official NCAA championship t shirt, but that's cool.
Feel free to expound ad nauseum how darn nice I am!  With this photography skill set and photoshop fail, we'll all be on the lookout for your go fund me site.  Your lucky your wife is such a great teacher! . You know I love you brother!

Ron Thanks for the kind words and now my friend you know why Kay and I have been attending Eggfest for the last 9 years! Happy Birthday to your Beautiful Wife. We are always asked at fests why we spend our own money on travel and food and then just give the food away and we are quite sure most people think we are crazy! At the end of every fests we are dog tired but have new friends and awesome memories of happy well fed people saying things like oh wow that's the best thing I have ever eatin! Like grilled cheese bacon sandwiches! Safe Travels home. Jim & Kay
