Peoria Eggfest

Options
I made the trip from Milwaukee to Peoria for their I believe 12th annual Egg Fest. This was my first Egg Fest... AND DANG THAT WAS FUN! I upgraded from my Medium, that was sold to "Bad-influence", to a Large. I was honored to have the famous RRP (Ron Pratt) cook on my Large! Met many awesome people that I can now call my friends. And had some unbelievable food. Pizzas, cakes, pork, veggies, salmon, etc. BUT NOW IM CONCERNED! I can't blame crap food on my egg anymore... RRP proved my egg works, it's all on me. ;-D If you haven't attended an egg Fest yet, I can vouch for the Peoria one! Awesome people! For the ones that were cooking at the Peoria EggFest... Shoot me your "handles" so I can ask you more dumb questions! Time to get the Spatchcock ready...chow for now!

    Rich - it was nice meeting you and Wendy and thank you for the craft beers! There were a couple other threads started about Peoria that you might want to look back and see. Here's proof that you two were present! Stay in touch, man!
