2019 EGGfest

September 28th, 2019 | 10:00AM-3:00PM
Outdoor Home | 882 W Tracker Rd | Nixa, MO

Savor delicious food, learn new techniques from seasoned EGGheads, and discover what the Big Green Egg-sperience is all about during the 2019 Smokin' the Ozarks EGGfest at Outdoor Home in Nixa, Missouri!

WHAT IS EGGFEST?

The Smokin' the Ozarks EGGfest at Outdoor Home is a charitable event dedicated to the Ultimate Cooking Experience... better know as the Big Green Egg! EGGheads (Big Green Egg Enthusiasts) will travel from all over the region to enjoy delicious food that only a Big Green Egg can produce, along with live music, cooking demonstrations, and few tasty beverages. At our EGGfest, "Tasters" will sample savory & sweet grilled meats, seafood, veggies, pizzas, and desserts cooked up by EGGfest "Cooking Teams" as they show off their unique recipes and grilled specialties for everyone to savor.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, our EGGfest is a charity event that directly benefits the Keystone Kops Unit of Springfield. All net proceeds from the 2019 "Smokin' the Ozarks" EGGfest go directly to this fantastic organization that provides lodging and transportation assistance to children and their families during their care at Shrine Hospitals across the area.

COOKING AT EGGFEST

For an EGGfest to be successful, we need enthusiastic EGGfest Cooking Teams!

Cooking at EGGfest is an opportunity for teams to share recipes, enjoy great food, and (most importantly) have a great time! Take turns sampling the other participants' dishes and build your repertoire with new ideas! This is not a "high-stakes" cooking competition. If you love cooking on your EGG because it's fun and you've got some special recipes the world needs to EGG-sperience... then you'll have a blast cooking at our EGGfest.

COOKING TEAM GIFT

To show our appreciation for all the hard work, time, and effort that cooking teams put into our event we are giving each team captain(s) a $100 Outdoor Home Gift Card (maximum of 2 per team) to spend at your leisure.

COOKING TEAM REGISTRATION FORM

EGGfest Cooking Teams should consist of 1-2 Team Captains with additional helpers (up to 6 total people per team). Team Captains will receive complimentary 2019 EGGfest T-Shirts (unique design), and additional shirts will be available to pre-purchase upon request.

EGGfest opens to the public at 10:00am, however, we ask that Cooks arrive no later than 8:00am to unload vehicles/trailers, set up their cooking station (approx. 12'x12' space), and begin cooking. We'll have ample volunteers available to help teams unload and set up. From 10:00am-3:00pm Cooking Teams showcase their skills by serving bite-size samples of their favorite recipes throughout the day for our Taster guests to enjoy. Cooking teams should participate/cook for the entire duration of the event. You don't always have to be serving, but you should always be working on your next dish.

7TH Annual EGGcellent Chef Awards

Back by popular demand, the 2019 EGGfest will again feature the "EGGcellent Chef" Competition! As Tasters enter the event, each will be given 3 votes to cast for the cooking team that they feel produced the best results on the Big Green Egg.

There are no specific categories or additional rules for this "people's choice" competition. This allows cooks to prepare a variety of recipes throughout the day and demonstrate the versatility of the Big Green Egg! All cooks are encouraged to participate as there are no special requirements, additional costs, or ingredients, and the winners will receive a distinguished prize once the votes are tallied!
