Event will be held on grounds of The Venue

Used to be, if someone called you an egghead, you might want to crack their head open like an egg.

Not anymore. Now the term has come to represent the proud owners of a Big Green Egg®. Salado will have about 300 of them for the fifth annual Salado Eggfest March 12 on the grounds of The Venue by Inn on the Creek.

Eggheads have been described as “cult-like” in their enthusiasm for the Big Green Eggs®, which they use to cook everything from Korean barbecue to chocolate chip cookies to smoked salmon to pizza.

The Eggheads will gather on the grounds of The Venue by Inn on the Creek, where they will swap recipes and friendship without the stress of competing for awards or recognition.

The Eggfest officially kicks off at 9 a.m. March 12. Early check-in for registered cooks will be at 7:30 a.m. Drawings will be held throughout the day.

Throughout the day, more than 40 registered cooks will be sharing 100 different snacks with other attendees.
