No pics from Toronto Eggfest this year?

Disappointed I couldn't attend Toronto Eggfest this year. In fact, I flew back in from vacation the same day, so was counting on @Canugghead or one of the other regulars to post pics. But my quick search turns up nothing?

I guess I am complicit in the lack of photos -- was waiting on someone else to start a thread too!

I was there as a first-time cook.  It was a lot of fun and I'll do it again at some point for sure.  My booth's biggest hits were roasted peaches stuffed with a pecan-praline mixture, as well as fried donuts -- we had a line of a couple dozen people waiting for those bad boys to come off the grill!!

It was my first time at the Brickworks venue and I hope they keep it there for many years to come.  Good location, great ambiance, and protected from whatever mother nature comes up with that day.

I have some pics here, but it's mostly just of my booth because the only negative part about the event as a cook is that you don't have much time to walk around and see everyone else's booth : https://goo.gl/photos/FSjp9isahsF7XU2a9

I took a bunch of video. I'll put it together this week some time.

I was there but did not take any pictures. Sorry guys!
This was my first eggfest. I had a great time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but an observation I made was that the lines were quite long for samples, and there were so many people behind me waiting for food that quite often it was impolite to speak with the cooks regarding their tips and tricks on how things were prepared since they were so busy getting samples to all the guests.
Again, just an observation from a first time attendee. Not trying to steal anyone's post.

Sounds like a fair and honest opinion. I have been to similar Eggfests. Great for people involved with the event who are looking at attendance numbers but not always a great time for the tasters and the cooks.

We've cooked at Toronto and Niagara fests several years, this was the busiest ever, huge crowd!  Unlike many of the big boys, our station wasn't that busy. We were able to share with interested visitors how we carved, prep and grilled pineapples, start to finish in about 20 min.
No picture but this is how I've been carving it for years...

Few random shots ...

Here's a couple stills. Most of mine was video.

Oh? I just thought that was @LittleSteven, slightly pickled and caught in a kite string!
