Pensacola Eggfest 2015
Still coming down off a high from this past weekend's Pensacola Eggfest presented by Kia Autosport. Is this one of my favorite Eggfests in the country. The Blue Wahoo's baseball stadium is located on the Gulf of Mexico and provides an amazing backdrop for the event.
Part of what sets this event aside is the purpose. Yes of course, it's about grilling, smoking, baking, eating, drinking and meeting new people. That's just Egging! What makes this event special is the fact that this is a charity event. Unlike a normal Eggfest put on by a BGE Retailer, all of the proceeds go to benefit Chain Reaction! Chain Reaction is leadership institute that teaches teens the value of service and volunteerism. The Eggfest organization believes in this Institute wholeheartedly which is one of the reasons I love this event!
I had he honor and privilege to be invited back this year as a Judge along side of funny man Jon Reep, BBQ Pitmaster Big Moe Cason and fellow NibbleMeThis blogger Chris Grove.
I hope you enjoy some of the moments captured below.

I cannot say enough kind words to Jerrold "Buck" Hall, Lisa Long, Jamie Bradley, Doug Jolly & Taylor Simmons for their tremendous planning, amazing execution and their generous hospitality. Also, special thanks to Escambia Electric Motor Big Green Egg and Kia Autosports for making this event possible! I am already looking forward to next year's event!
