The first Dizzy Fest of 2017 was a hit. Held at Dizzy Pig’s new manufacturing and retail facility, it had the usual wide selection of teams cooking a variety of specialty BBQ on Big Green Eggs.
As usual the event was sold out and food went fast. But with cookers preparing several dishes there was plenty for everyone making the rounds.
I started the day with an amazing Pancake in a Cone with Maple Cream and Bacon prepared by the always innovative Western Maryland Cookers.
Great Breakfast Egg Rolls
Awesome smoked deviled eggs.
Great pastrami breakfast sandwich.
New this year at Dizzy Pig is the Gateway Drum Smoker. It does a great job smoking is less time than a Big Green Egg.
In they go.
Melt in your mouth, ready in about 3 hours.
Owner Chris Capell always draws a crowd for his classes.
I wanted to leave you with a parting shot of what you missed. Tickets for the next Dizzy Fest will go fast so follow them on Facebook at https://dizzypigbbq.com/dizzyfest/. You don’t want to miss out on some of the finest BBQ on the East coast.
