Calling All EggHeads-Registration Open for Eggs on the Beach, Sept. 27

Summer and grilling go hand in hand. While you’re lighting up the grill, we invite you to consider perfecting your favorite recipes and enter a cook team for Eggs on the Beach, the Emerald Coast’s official Big Green Egg Festival to be held Sept. 27 at Seascape Resort.

Eggs on the Beach is a celebration of food cooked on the Big Green Egg, the all-in-one smoker and grill. The family-friendly day will include live music, cooking demonstrations and teams competing for the “People’s Choice Award.” The grand prize is a large Big Green Egg and the runner up will win a 2-night stay at Seascape Resort.

Registration is now open for cook teams. Each team of four will receive be invited to the opening night reception on Fri., Sept. 26, and each member will receive a welcome bag with festival t-shirt, Wayne’s Get Grillin’ Rub and items from Big Green Egg. Teams are supplied a large or X-large Big Green Egg for cooking during the competition and will need to bring their own cooking supplies and ingredients for their dishes.

Our goal is to create a fun, family-friendly cook competition where friends and neighbors gather to celebrate their love of grilling the delicious results of cooking on a Big Green Egg.

The best part—all proceeds from the event will benefit the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and support military families in our local community! Sponsorship opportunities are also available, offering great exposure for your business/product AND you’ll be supporting a great cause.

To inspire your creativity, here are some great summertime recipes courtesy of our friends at Big Green Egg:
Margherita Pizza

Chicken Sausage with Southwest Surprise Salsa

Walnut Beef Sliders

Surf & Turf Kabob

Happy Grilling!

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift idea? Here at Bay Breeze Patio in Destin, we’re full of ideas to help Dad enjoy his backyard (or his man cave) even more!

Here are some of our top picks for Dad:

–Big Green Egg-cessories – If Dad has a Big Green Egg, you’ve got it made! There are all kinds of “Eggcessories” to make grilling and smoking on the Big Green Egg more fun. From pizza/baking stones to the Big Green Egg BBQ Guru (a temperature control so precise, it’s like having your own personal valet), Bay Breeze Patio has the perfect gift for the Green Egg-straordinaire on your list.

–Grilling Cookbooks Is Dad stuck in a rut? Is he always grilling the same three things? Give him the gift of a grilling cookbook to stir his imagination and the whole family will enjoy the delicious results.

–Custom Gift Grilling Sets – We’ve got an entire corner dedicated to the Grill Master. Create a personalized Father’s Day gift that includes a creative apron, barbecue rubs (note: you’ll want to include at least one Wayne’s Get Grillin’ rub) and grilling tools. Dad will be thanking you for the rest of the year.

–LooftLighter – For Dad’s with the Big Green Egg or charcoal grill, the Looftlighter is the ULTIMATE gift. It can ignite charcoal, wood, briquettes and other materials within 60 seconds. He’ll enjoy the quicker cook time (and will be the envy of all the neighbors.)

–Hammocks – Lay back and say ahhhhh! By giving the gift of a high quality Hatteras Hammock, you will give the gift of relaxation. Hatteras recently added an array of new fabrics and styles that prove that relaxation can be a beautiful experience.

–Personalized items—Another way to create a personalized gift for Dad is to order him his own customized cutting board. Every time he cuts, chops, slices and dices, he’ll smile to see his name and #1 Dad.

We also carry a wide selection of premium grills along with every size of the Big Green Egg. Come by and see us and we’ll help you find the perfect gift that will show Dad how much you appreciate him.
