Meat Church BBQ Boot Camp at the Big Green Egg Culinary Center (pic heavy)

MeatChurch · February 2016

I had a pretty amazing weekend at the mothership last weekend. I was lucky enough to teach Texas BBQ to folks from all over the country. We had folks travel in from Maryland, NC, Vermont, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, etc. That was very cool to say the least.

The staff, volunteers and facilities at the Big Green Egg Culinary center are amazing. I can't say enough good things about Amanda and her team.

Enjoy some photos and can't wait to do this again!

The "light" supper @Big_Green_Craig forced on me Saturday evening after my all day love affair with BBQ.

Looks amazing!

Looks like an amazing spot and great time. I will need to drop in some day when we retire, planning on doing an Eggfest tour and this looks like a great place to stop. Thanks for sharing.

bhedges1987 · February 2016

Man I want to go to some sort of an egg fest

volfan1 · February 2016

That looks awesome. I'm going to have to get there for a boot camp.

saluki2007 · February 2016

You mean Craig forced something upon you....J/K
Everything looks great and miss seeing you guy's posts.

THEBuckeye · February 2016

I saw the fee was around $275 per person.

JohnInCarolina · February 2016

Wow!

MeatChurch · February 2016

It was a bargain for sure. About 1/2 the price of a typical BBQ class. It was 2 days and loaded with free food and drink in addition to all the BBQ we cooked - 3 briskets, 8 pork butts, 12 slabs of ribs, 10 whole chickens and a gazillion thighs. Plus a swag bag w shirt, towel and 4 bottles of sauce and a discount in the store.

Ya that's cheap compared to some BBQ classes I've taken. Not sure if I missed it, but will there be an announcement post about signing up to the one next year? Really looking to get some hands on experience from the BGE pro's. Was looking into eggfest, but this looks great as well.

SkinnyV · February 2016

Food looks top notch well done.

clifkincaid · February 2016

Wish we had you around The Great Pacific Northwest!

Craig the piece 5th from bottom is sticking out further than piece 6th from bottom. Can you fix that, take a new pic, and repost? I kid. Looks great.

Edit- nice work @MeatChurch

Funny story, I actually noticed that after the fact. If I had noticed it, I would have fixed it! HAHA!

Egghead_Daron · February 2016

Looks like a good time! I still have not been to the mothership. I would love to see the new location. For those newer folks unaware, there are tons of Eggfests all over the country. This is by no means a complete list but here is a link for the ones listed on BGE's site. http://www.biggreenegg.com/events/eggfests/
