Toronto Eggfest open for registration

no need to register, you can sail or speed boat across the lake and get in for free! the venue is right by the waterfront, see my avatar )

@cheech5001‌ - I'm in Vaughan, just north of TO. I was thinking @Cookinbob‌ can anchor his boat and swap booze for food all day over the fence, kidding! @gmac you won't see LS post any time soon since he's probably passed out in Salado! I've cooked at several fests, usually I end up with lots of uncooked leftovers, too much food and not enough time to cook. My two cents: 1) Although there may be 300+ attendees you cook whatever you can limited by the Large BGE's capacity, since there may be 20 or more cooks you don't have to worry about folks who didn't get your samples ... remember it's sampling and sharing, not catering! Having said that, sometimes you have to use your discretion ... for example when I baked a cheese bread last August at Niagara fest, I had to decide between giving out 16 decent size slices vs. serving 40 people with a small sliver. 2) don't slave all day, take occasional breaks to visit other cooks and socialise. 3) generally, by early or mid afternoon people suffer meat overdose, so grilled fruits or desserts will be refreshing. 4) be alert with your egg setup, at a fest last year a volunteer dump lump into my demo egg that was missing the charcoal grate; after they removed the lit charcoal, put in the grate, and reloaded with lit charcoal, my egg temp went over 500+, I had to choke down and later ran out of lump prematurely, it was not fun ;( enough rambling, sorry!
