Former Navy Seal Kevin “Dauber” Lacz, former Green Bay Packers player Josh Sitton, and storyteller “Sean of the South” Dietrich and his wife Jamie have been named celebrity judges for this year’s Pensacola EggFest.
Another 40 local celebrity judges will be joining them including chefs Irv Miller, Frank Taylor, Jason Perry, Nathan Holler, and Alex McPhail.
The annual event, held at Pensacola Blue Wahoo Stadium Nov. 14, raises money for local charities while serving up some of the best barbeque in the south — all cooked on Big Green Eggs.
Sean Dietrich who has served as a judge in previous years, said the charity event is near and dear to him and his wife, Jamie.
“I love the way the Pensacola community comes together to help those who need it most,” said Dietrich. “When you combine great barbecue and great causes — great things happen. We all should take part in fighting childhood cancer and systemic hunger in our communities.”
EggFest has given more than $420,000 to support local charities like childhood cancer and systemic hunger and has served more than 20,000 meals to those in need. Charities have included Rally Pensacola, Manna Food Pantry, Studer Community Institute, Last Mile 5K, NWF Guardian Ad Litem and Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Blazer Academy.
