Team Big Green Craig cooked at this year's National Big Green Egg Eggtoberfest and was voted #1 in the People's Choice Recipe Contest! We rolled into the event with 120lbs of Meat Church Honey Hog smoked pork belly that we cubed into burnt ends and deep fried directly on our 6 Big Green Eggs! Our Piglet Poppers recipe will be posted on the Big Green Egg website.

This crew was assembled from some of Social Media's biggest Eggheads! These Instagrammers came from near and far. States represented were Georgia, Colorado, South Carolina, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas, Massachusetts, Missouri & Tennessee. The crew started trickling in on Thursday. We prepped everything on Friday, then caravan'd down to Stone Mountain Park on Saturday.
The gates opened at 10 am and our line never stopped. We served our Piglet Poppers all day long. We were also spinnin' sausage, pork and chicken on two Carson Rodizios.

SPECIAL GUESTS
Jeffrey B. Rogers, The Culinary Fanatic
| Jeffrey B Rogers, known as The Culinary Fanatic, has over 2 Million views on his YouTube channel. Jeff's channel is anything and everything cast iron. When we spoke at Eggtoberfest, he owned 156 pieces of cast iron. I'm sure it's more by now. I was honored to have him as Team BGC's Special Guest. |  |
Richard Looft & Nisse Persson
 | Richard Looft, the creative genius behind the much beloved Looftlighter, and Nisse Persson, Looft Industries International Sales Mgr, visited our cook tent all the way from Stockholm, Sweden. The Big Green Craig project and Looft Industries has been teamed up for several years and it was an honor to finally meet these two great individuals. |
These Eggheads are genuinely great people. They worked their tails off and at the end of the weekend asked, "what are we cooking next year?" I am humbled and honored to call each and every one of the friend. We had an absolute blast!
Thanks for everyone that came out to sample, to support and to vote for our team. Also, a HUGE shout out to our sponsors that made this event possible.
