Taster Tickets On Sale for 10th Annual Eggs On the Beach Cooking Competition, Nov. 2 – Partnership with Tony Chachere’s Seasonings and Angel’s Envy Brings More Categories & Samples
Tickets are on sale now for the 10th Annual Eggs
on the Beach Big Green Egg Cooking Competition, Nov. 2, at Seascape Towne
Center in Miramar Beach. For the commemorative
year, the festival has partnered with two well-known brands—Tony Chachere’s
Seasonings and Angel’s Envy—to enhance the cooking competition.
The partnership provides more categories for cook teams to
compete, and more opportunities for tasters to sample delicious bites and beverages.
Cook teams will be smoking, grilling and baking their favorite dishes on the
Big Green Egg while tasters sample the delicious bites and vote for their
favorites, while supporting two local causes—Fisher House of the Emerald Coast
and Food for Thought.
By incorporating Tony’s famous creole seasonings, cook
teams will have the opportunity to compete in a new category and tasters will
enjoy the flavorful Louisiana influence at the 2024 event. Each team will receive
a variety pack of the Tony Chachere’s Seasonings and are encouraged to
experiment with recipes that incorporate Tony’s blend of flavorful spices.
Back by popular demand, the Angel’s Envy Team will have a
booth and present bourbon and craft cocktail samples. Cook teams may also
incorporate Angel’s Envy into their bite and compete in the Angel’s Envy bite
category. In addition, cook teams are invited to delight tasters with creative
cocktails as well. Previous winners, Saltwater Restaurant Group, has impressed
tasters with their Bourbon Smoked Pineapple Smash and Bourbon Smoked Orange Smash
in year’s past.
In addition, Abita Brewery is returning for their 10th
year as the cook team beer sponsor and will also present samples of their new
brews, including Beeracuda Lager, Strawberry Lager and Blueberry Wheat, for
tasters (21+) to try. The popular craft beers, brewed at their brewery Covington,
Louisiana, will be served from Kombi Keg 30A’s vintage VW van. The Abita Brewing
Company has been producing craft beers for nearly three decades and has become
an annual favorite at Eggs on the Beach.
The festival will be enhanced with live music by the Black
Eyed Blonde duo, Becca and Dan Collins, along with flat screen TVs at the Tiki Bar airing the
day’s most popular college football games. Beer, wine, cocktails, water and sodas will also
be available for purchase at the Tiki Bar. Tasters may also
participate in drawings for a chance to win a Mini-Max Big Green Egg as well as products and
gift certificates from area businesses.
The annual cooking competition will feature a mix of cook
teams, ranging from backyard grillers to local restaurants to non-profit
organizations, presenting a variety of dishes from meats and seafood to veggies
and desserts cooked on the Big Green Egg for the benefit of two local
non-profits. Proceeds from the event benefit The Fisher House of the Emerald
Coast and Food for Thought. Providing a home away from home for military families during medical
treatment, Fisher House of the Emerald Coast serves those who have served our
country. Fighting food insecurity among area students, Food for Thought
provides backpacks filled with healthy foods to students in need.
