The Griller’s Grill. While there may be many models on the market eager to claim this title, there is a faction of grill masters who believe with all their hearts (and their stomachs) that it belongs to only one. They call themselves EGGheads.
“I feel like I need to do one of those Tim Allen grunts when I say it,” says David Locke, Big Green Egg owner and aficionado. His colleagues at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Dennis Culver and Chris Martin, share his Egg-thusiam.
The Big Green Egg, a high-end ceramic charcoal barbecue cooker, has been delighting grill masters since the mid-1990s. But while all grillers may covet the Egg, not all can afford the Egg.
“It’s a formidable investment,” says Locke.
Indeed, ranging in price from $399 to $3,999, this grill is the sort of splurge one makes only with the support of their partner. Not coincidentally, all three men were gifted the Egg by their wives.
