Big Green Egg Battle Comes To Johns Creek

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- The battle between Johns Creek police officers and firefighters over who will be known as masters of the grill will come to a head on Saturday in the first-ever Big Green Egg Battle.

The public safety servants will square off with spatulas, tongs, cutting boards and other tools of the culinary arts in the event to create appetizers and entrees using a Big Green Egg at A&S Culinary Concepts.

Cooks won’t know what they’ll be whipping up until the competition starts, and judges will consist of chefs provided by the culinary school and the public. The winner earns bragging rights and a trophy.

Tickets to sample the results cost $10 per person. Raffle tickets for a medium Green Egg cost $5. Tickets are available online, or at the city’s three fire stations and at the headquarters of the Police and Fire departments:

• Fire Station 61, 10265 Medlock Bridge Parkway
• Fire Station 62, 10925 Rogers Circle
• Fire Station 63, 3165 Old Alabama Road
• Fire Department headquarters, 12000 Findley Road Suite 300
• Police Department headquarters, 11445 Johns Creek Parkway

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation, which assist firefighters and police officers injured in the line of duty or to assist their families. Canned food donations will be collected for the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

The event features entertainment for the whole family, including bounce houses, a petting zoo and music by the “School of Rock.”

The fun runs from noon to 4 p.m. with the cooking starting at 1 p.m. A&S Culinary Concepts is located at 9945 Jones Bridge Road.
