MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla.—September 20, 2023—Taster tickets are on sale now for the 9 th Annual Eggs
on the Beach Big Green Egg Cooking Competition to be held on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to
1:30 p.m. at Seascape Resort in Miramar Beach. Tasters enjoy unlimited bites, and receive five votes
to vote for their favorites and award the 2023 People’s Choice Awards.
Presented by Bay Breeze Patio, the event has become one of the most popular and anticipated
cooking competitions in the region. More than 20 cook teams will compete for cash and prizes.
Tasters sample unlimited bites and vote for their top five favorites to award the “People’s Choice”
Awards, while five honorary judges will present the coveted Judge’s trophies based on taste,
creativity and presentation.
“We are consistently impressed by the cook teams’ creativity, and the diversity of bites presented,”
said Bay Breeze Patio Co-owner and Co-founder of EOTB Wayne Paul. “We’re looking forward to
welcoming back our previous participants as well as welcoming first time competitors. In addition,
we’re excited to add a new category this year with a Kids Competition to celebrate the next
generation of grill masters.”
Cook Teams create bite size portions of their favorite recipes to be judged by the public as well as
honorary judges. Each team of up to six is given a large or extra-large Big Green Egg to cook their
masterpiece during the competition. Tasters vote for their favorites, as teams vie for bragging rights
and prizes, including the grand prize, a brand new large Big Green Egg. In addition to the People’s
Choice Awards, Cook Teams may compete for Judge’s Awards, and Non-profit Teams Awards, which
includes a cash donation toward their cause.
New to this year’s event, Eggs on the Beach will include a Junior Chefs Competition. Open to five
youth cook teams, the junior cook team category will allow young chefs, ages 8-14, an opportunity to
showcase their talents and compete for bragging rights, medals and cash prizes. Junior Cook Teams
may include up to five youth chefs and one adult chef per team. Junior grillers will present their bite
to the honorary judges who will evaluate each bite based on taste and presentation.
Presented by Bay Breeze Patio, the family-friendly event benefits two local charities--the Fisher
House of the Emerald Coast and Food for Thought. Providing a home away from home for military
families during medical treatment, Fisher House of the Emerald Coast serves those who have served
our country. Fighting food insecurity among area students, Food for Thought provides backpacks
filled with healthy foods to students in need. In addition, these two charity partners along with other
non-profit organizations will have cook teams will compete for taster votes to earn cash donations
toward their cause.
The cooking competition will be enhanced with live music by Dan Collins and Becca of Black Eyed
Blonde, as well a chance to win a Mini-Max Big Green Egg. Beer, wine, cocktails, water and sodas will
also be available for purchase at the Tiki Bar. Bacardi Angel’s Envy? Cook teams will be rewarded with
