My Egg dealer has a customer appreciation feast every year. He is a industrial pluming supply and AC dealer who loves the Egg and keeps them in his showroom as a side sale. We live in a town of less than 20k and no way to make a living off the Egg. He hires a caterer to fry catfish and to boil bugs. His workers Egg for several days before hand pulled pork and chicken on a couple XL's. He knows I am a show off and Egg nut and asked me if I would basically put on a show tomorrow to drum up sales for the Egg cooking blacken catfish and shrimp on demand my idea of food. I figured a hand full of presimmon wood at 400 pluse and almost auto ignight butter would make a show. He got me 20 lbs thicker cut cat, 25 or 30 lbs all ready butterflied and devained shrimp and what ever else I wanted to get. Thought I would do the blacken cat with made from clove fresh garlic bread and real butter on demand along with blacken, AZRP and Italian shrimp and DP's Redeye mushrooms. All cook fast, easy and more exciting than watching a rack of ribs cook! :laugh:
Most of you know me from the forum but this is my first public cook for all the pics and post I do. Please if any suggestions let me know!! I'm no better then the newest newbe. Thanks JLockhart

    First thought was a line from a Moody Blues song, not sure which one right now:
    "Breathe Deep"

    You'll do fine!

    Good Luck and hope you help sell a lot of BGE's.

    It was my first so you might want to ask AZRP/Desert
    Filly. They have been to many. If your looking for comparisions.
    I thought it was great! Alot of people and great food/conversations.

    You will have a gas. Super volume cooks are always the ones I remember the best.
    If your well prepped everything will be a breeze.

    Have fun ;)

    I hope he can keep up with all of the orders he'll get for the eggs! I can almost smell the catfish and shrimp cooking. I've only made blackened catfish once on the egg and it quickly became one of my favorites.Good luck and like bill said "trust the egg".

    I know you will do well at the demo cook and you will have fun once things are in place and your cookin away. Try to keep organized and have what you need on hand and within easy reach. Coolers with food, rubba gloves, paper toweling, lined garbage container, paper plates, aluminum trays, sharp knives, ect. Cutting board and knife for raw food and another board and knife for cooked food. An assistant to help you out with prep and serving during the demo would be nice.
    With your food I'll bet you will be selling eggs at the same time. :cheer:
    Good luck and have fun!
