Cook Team Registration Now Open for the Fourth Annual “Eggs On the Beach” EggFest, Sept. 30
We’re excited to announce Cook Team Registration is now open for the Fourth Annual “Eggs on the Beach” EggFest Cooking Competition, taking place on Saturday, Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach. As one of the official Big Green Egg Festivals held around the country, Eggs on the Beach will be a delicious afternoon for the entire family, featuring a cooking competition, “People’s Choice Awards”, “Judges Awards”, tastings, live music by Chris Alvarado, children’s activities and more.
We’ve enjoyed growing the Eggs on the Beach cooking competition each year and adding new elements. We added a non-profit cook team category, which has been extremely popular as well as added celebrity judges. We’re looking forward to unveiling more new elements this year. In addition, Seascape is a great partner and the perfect location to host an outdoor event.
Do you love cooking on the Big Green Egg? Consider entering a cook team. Cook Teams create bite size portions of their favorite recipes to be judged by the public as well as a celebrity judge. Each team of up to six is given a large or extra-large Big Green Egg to use during the competition. Bay Breeze Patio provides the lump charcoal, fire starter, table, tent, paper plates, plastic utensils, napkins and toothpicks. Tasters vote for their favorites, as teams vie for bragging rights and prizes, including the grand prize, a brand new large Big Green Egg. Non-profit cook teams will compete for cash donations for their cause.
EggHeads, master grillers, backyard grillers, and everyone in between is encouraged to join the fun and register a cook team. Our goal is host the most fun, cook-friendly and taster-friendly cooking competition in the region while giving back to our local community.
All proceeds from Eggs on the Beach will benefit two local charities. The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, located on Eglin Air Force Base, provides a “home away from home” for military families so the family can be together during treatment for serious illness or physical/occupational therapy and Food For Thought serves students in Okaloosa and Walton County with healthy meals. In addition, attendees/tasters may purchase tickets for a chance to win a Big Green Egg and other items donated by area businesses with these proceeds also benefiting the charity partners.
For those who are interested in owning a Big Green Egg, Demo Eggs, which will be used during the event, will be sold in advance with nest (metal stand) and plate setter for a discounted price. Both large and XLarge Eggs will be sold and all come with a limited lifetime warranty. Demo Eggs must be picked up after the event, between 4 – 5 p.m. on September 30.
Cook team registration is $50 for a team of six and each team member will receive a welcome bag, including a commemorative t-shirt and Wayne’s Get Grillin’ Rubs. Cook team fees are waived for non-profit cook teams.
