SAVE THE DATE! Eggs On the Beach Cooking Competition Returns to Seascape Resort, October 16, 2021

Eggs on the Beach Big Green Egg EggFest is returning to Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach on Oct. 16, 2021. We were disappointed we had to postpone our event last year and are looking forward to bringing back one of the best foodie events on the Emerald Coast. The family-friendly event celebrates the delicious results of cooking on the Big Green Egg while benefitting two local charities–the Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought. We can’t wait to welcome back returning winners as well as new cook teams that will be smoking, grilling and baking their favorite dishes on the Big Green Egg to earn votes for their delicious bites.

Cook team registration will open soon and we’re looking forward to signing up a variety of cooks, ranging from backyard grillers to local restaurants to those cooking to benefit their favorite non-profit organization. The options are endless as cook teams prepare a variety of dishes, ranging from meats and seafood to veggies and desserts in an effort to earn the coveted “People’s Choice” trophy and a brand new large Big Green Egg.

New for the 2021, Eggs on the Beach is moving to a new enhanced location behind the Seascape Towne Center overlooking the pond and fountain. The new location will allow each cook team to have their own 10×10 tent, allowing for more prep space and social distancing. In addition, the tiki bar, public restrooms and access to Seascape Towne Center businesses will provide added convenience and enjoyment for cook teams and tasters.

We’re excited for the evolution of Eggs on the Beach. After canceling the 2020 event, we’re looking forward to coming back better than ever. The new location at Seascape will allow us to hold a more intimate and customized experience, and most important, it will once again support two incredible local non-profits that are serving needs in our community among students and active and retired military.

Non-profit teams will again have an opportunity to compete for cash prizes and proceeds from the event benefit The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought. The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast provides a home away from home for military families during medical treatment, and Food for Thought is fighting hunger and food insecurity among area students by providing backpacks with healthy snacks for students in Walton and Okaloosa Counties.

The cooking competition will be enhanced by kid’s activities, live music, and drawings for a chance to win a Mini-Max Big Green Egg and more. In addition, top ranked college football games will be aired in the ENCO Sports Zone. Beverages including beer, wine, cocktails, water and sodas will be available for purchase.

For those who have thought of owning a Big Green Egg, Demo Eggs, which are used during the competition, are available for pre-sale at a discounted price. Demo Eggs are available in Large or XLarge and come with a nest (metal stand) and plate setter along with a limited lifetime warranty. Demo Eggs are used during the event and will be available for pick-up between 4 – 5 p.m. on October 16. Eggcessories, including temperature controls, baking stones, egg covers, and cooking utensils, will also be discounted during the event.
