This year's event will commemorate the iconic bite that started it all, the chicken wing. Founder Ed Fisher cooked wings outside his original store in Atlanta and they drew crowds eager to taste the difference. As a nod to the brand's history, this year's event will include an attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for largest serving of chicken wings, with Ed's Famous Wing Sauce, prepared on 50 XL Big Green Eggs by Team Green.
While the event celebrates "EGGheads," the passionate community of Big Green Egg enthusiasts, everyone is welcome to join this family-friendly event. Cook teams include home cooks, pitmasters, 3-star Michelin chefs, and junior cooks showcasing their grilling skills, recipes, tips, and techniques. This global culinary showcase runs from 10 AM – 4 PM at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville, GA. EGGtoberfest also provides a rare opportunity for guests to purchase one of the event EGGs at an exclusive discounted price.
