Celebrate St. Patrick's Day! March 16th, 2012 will mark the 4th annual Eggs in the Desert here at BBQ Island. This years festival falls on St. Patrick's day weekend. Lucky coincidence! Green Eggs and good times are in the forecast. As in year's past, the festival will showcase 20 amateur BBQ teams, as they turn out their award winning Egg recipes. These local BBQ teams will be smoking, roasting, baking, & grilling up their best Egg dishes for everyone to sample. We hope to have over 25 Eggs burning at once. Attendees will taste the different dishes and vote on their favorite. The BBQ team with the most votes at the end of the day, goes home with a brand new Large Big Green Egg. Second place will win a Sole 3 burner gas grill and third place will win a Yeti Roadie ice chest.

All of the Big Green Eggs used in the event are for sale. These are only cooked on once (seasoned), come assembled and include a nest. The Large Big Green Egg demo units are being sold for $799 and the XL Big Green Egg Demo units are being sold for $1,049. These demo Eggs are only available for pick up after 4:00 pm on March 16th. Call 480.632.9227 for details.

Much like last years Eggs-cellent event, we will feature multiple Egg Grillings Classes throughout the day. Classes will cover Egg Basics, as well as other technique driven Egg classes.  Tickets bought on-line will be at Will Call . Please bring a copy of your receipt. Tickets will cost $20 at the gate.
