    Lots of variety served up I won’t get them all but a few were
    • ABT’s
    • Cornbread
    • Chocolate chip cookies
    • Brownies
    • Pork loins
    • Tri tip
    • Chicken bombs
    • Over the top beans
    • Enchiladas 
    • Pizzas
    • Chicken, beef, and shrimp kebabs 
    • Pineapple and  bourbon glazed pound cakes 
    • Wings galore
    • Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese
    • Brats and kielbasa 
    I know I forgot some stuff of course, but it was pretty hectic. It was an extremely enjoyable day even with the oppressive heat. The cooks and regular eggheads really acquitted themselves well. Just a great day for eggheads! I can’t thank everyone enough. I had opportunity to spend time with @Focker@Grillinois@Bentgrass amongst a bunch of others who aren’t regulars on this platform. We had several groups from both Wisconsin , Iowa and the western suburbs. Thanks again to all!

    I can’t figure out how he managed to get so much stuff on the platesetter? It’s as if he was drinking and forgot to put the food on the grate prior to sprinkling his toppings! Huh? Very close to full coverage. Who ever encouraged him to do this on our old demo unit rather than the Eggfest one deserves a merit badge.

    I now know why you foil the platesetters. 
    Maybe he was making fricos.  Lol

    Actually Pete, I'm glad you explained this picture! I just assumed that he barfed on that PS and someone threw a couple burnt up pieces of pepperoni on i!

    I have no idea how it happened. I was off doing some things in the store and came back and saw the carnage. WTF! After a little detective work I learned I was Cody’d! Plenty of beverages flowing, but no barfing that I know bout. 
     
    Hoping you are able to make it next year. There is talk of a fall event. It will obviously be a non sanctioned free for all type deal. No particulars yet, but targeting college football season. I will keep you abreast of any developments in the case you are able to attend.
