- BC EggFest prides itself on gathering some of the best cooks around. However, good quality barbecue by nature is very time consuming for the pit-masters to cook and is not at all like fast food. We do our best to make sure any queues for food are kept to an acceptable level and move as quickly as possible. The wait times are generally the longest at around 1-2pm.
- Cook teams will be doing their best to provide food for the full duration of the event, however, they can only fit so much meat on their grill. Some cooks do run out of menu items as the day progresses and/or take short breaks. We will however always have a great selection of food available at all times.
