CALLING ALL GRILL MASTERS: Cook Team Registration Open for the 11th Annual Eggs On the Beach, Nov. 1

We’re getting fired up for the  11th Annual “Eggs on the Beach” Cooking Competition, happening Saturday, November 1 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Seascape Resort.

We’re thrilled to be recognized three times as “Best Local Annual Event” by VIP Destin Magazine readers, and this year’s event will be better than ever—bringing together backyard grillers, pro chefs, restaurants, and non-profit teams to compete for cash, trophies, a brand new Big Green Egg, and of course, the ultimate prize: bragging rights.

Each registered team of up to six grillers will be provided with a large or XL Big Green Egg to showcase their skills, serving up bite-sized creations for both the public and a panel of honorary judges. Teams compete for crowd and judges’ votes in a high-heat showdown of flavor, creativity, and presentation. 

Every team also receives commemorative t-shirts and Wayne’s Get Grillin’ Rubs.

The grand prize is a large Big Green Egg for the most Taster votes. Cash prizes will be awarded to non-profit cook teams to support their cause, and trophies will be awarded by a team of honorary judges.

The best part is that this delicious event raises funds for Fisher House of the Emerald Coast and Food For Thought, two local charities making a big difference in the community. Located on Eglin Air Force Base, the Fisher House provides a “home away from home” for military families so they can be together during treatment for serious illness or physical/occupational therapy. Based in Santa Rosa Beach, Food for Thought provides backpacks filled with healthy, easy-to-prepare foods for students who are dependent on free or reduced school meals.

For those who have considered 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 can be picked up after the event.

Cook team registration is $50 for a team of six and cook team fees are waived for non-profit cook teams, which are competing for a cash donation toward their cause. Taster tickets will be on-sale soon. To learn more or to register a cook team or purchase a taster ticket, visit www.EggsontheBeach.com or call us at 850-269-4666.also
