Steak & Eggs Chicago 11/08?

JalopyBob

This is THE big weekend in the world of the BGE, and I will be stuck here in the Midwest. So my question is who will be going to this Chicago event? It is a new one and I am not quite sure what to expect. It does look very interesting though and I may go ,even if only to learn or spectate. Anyone else going?

I'll be there. This won't be a typical Eggfest though.

Dr BBQ,

Enlighten us as to what it will be like. I'm thinking about attending but would like to know more before I ask for permission from the "boss".

JalopyBob

DRBBQ I see that you are featured at this event. So it will be more of a learning event than one to cook at? The ad is somewhat vague. Thanks, I would like to go and get your book.

It's a little more of a food fest than a typical Eggfest but there will be lots of eggs, food and drink. It's being held at a nice restaurant near downtown with a courtyard and a banquet building. Very cool setup and great people. Chef Rathbun is the guy in the BGE DVD.

The wife and I will be there also.
Hopefully, fellow Chicagoeggers Pete Laimens, Dobiedad,
ClayQ, Daryl Haider, Bud, RonL and all will be there as well.

Steve,
This morning I took up Mark's offer of being the 6th butt in the six seat van coming from central Illinois! Looking forward to it for sure!

ILL--EGGER

Just got a chance to talk to Mark earlier today and heard the good news that you're coming along. Should be a great time but don't fall asleep in the van with this crazy group :laugh: .

LOL - don't worry about me! I'm older and wiser than any of you whippersnappers! Fall asleep? HEY I have my credit card number memorized...there's no plastic ON or IN my body!
BTW for over 3 years I used to get up one day every month at 3:00AM in order to drive to the Loop in Chicago to attend a meeting at 30 West Monroe Street, the corporate offices of Talman-Home - a former employer. You guys just need to tell me when and where to be in Washington and I won't be late!
