EGGtoberfest 2025 is proudly benefiting the Atlanta Community Food Bank, with net proceeds being donated to this organization whose mission is to fight hunger by engaging, educating, and empowering the community. The Food Bank works with more than 700 community-based nonprofit partners to distribute 10 million meals across metro Atlanta and north Georgia each month.

EGGtoberfest is an opportunity to bring people together in the spirit of community togetherness and looking out neighbors. Due to rising prices on everything from household goods to groceries, there has been a 60% increase in families seeking food assistance from the Atlanta Community Food Bank over the last three years. 820,000 people in the Food Bank's service area are food insecure.
"Food insecurity isn't just a lack of calories," said Greg Sims, Director of Institutional Giving at the Atlanta Community Food Bank. "That's part of it, but food carries so much meaning. It's what gathers communities together and carries on family traditions… it creates a sense of peace, well-being, and happiness. When we fight hunger, we build strong, healthy, joyful communities. And that's exactly what Big Green Egg does; they create huge celebrations by sharing meals and breaking bread together, which is a wonderful alignment with our model and mission."
Guests who can't attend EGGtoberfest in person can join the celebration by following Big Green Egg on social media on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
General Admission tickets are $89 each and include two drink tickets, parking, a commemorative t-shirt and gift bag. Premium Ticket Packages are available starting at $175 and provide VIPs with early entry to the event, along with exclusive merchandise, first access to new Big Green Egg products, and priority tasting of all the delicious bites.

15 of Gavin Newsom's most brutal roasts of Trump that have the left cackling & MAGA melting down
Shiela Fitzgerald/Shutterstock;California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump. California Governor Gavin Newsom is setting the internet on fire with his new social media strategy that is not only hilarious but has the added benefit of making MAGA angry. Two birds, one stone. Newsom has been roasting the Right using memes and dunking President Donald Trump and Republican politicians by imitating Trump's own all-caps, deranged style of posting on Truth Social. Over the course of the last month, the governor and his social media team have become masters at trolling. Camille Zapata is the head of Newsom's press office and runs his @CAGovernor account, while director of communications Izzy Gardon and other members of the team run @GovPressOffice and @GavinNewsom, and all of them are well-versed in Internet memes and students of the way Trump likes to post. The social media posts have been so successful that they've managed to anger Republican politicians and even caused a Fox News host to crash out on air. After Newsom's office posted memes making fun of Vice President JD Vance and Trump supporter Kid Rock, and labeled Kristi Noem 'Commander Cosplay' and Tomi Lahren 'woke,' The Five host Dana Perino melted down and called on Newsom's wife to stop him. Democrats, on the other hand, have been cheering Newsom on by reposting his greatest hits, creating Trump-like AI memes of Newsom, while the media is busy creating best-of lists. The LGBTQ+ community is rightfully sick of Newsom after he called trans athletes competing in women's sports 'deeply unfair' in the debut episode of his podcast, but it's hard to deny that his tweet storm is having an impact on Republicans and MAGA voters. Newsom may be one of the only Democrats willing to fight fire with fire, and the internet is loving him for it! Newsom's press office making fun of Trump by mimicking the bizarre all-caps way he posts on Truth Social is a hilarious and clever way to dunk on the president. Calling his hands "tiny" and roasting him for needing "little baby stairs" to get into Air Force One is the icing on the cake. "Tiny hands" and "beta" are the perfect nicknames for a man obsessed with his own virility and masculinity. The internet spent a couple of days making fun of the way JD Vance runs, and Newsom joined in on the fun. Newsom's press office is getting eerily good at posting like Trump. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was another target for Newsom's ire, calling him "little man" while roasting Trump for his obsession with maps and calling him Donald "TACO" J. Trump. After Texas House Democrats broke quorum and fled the state for Illinois and California, Texas Senator Ted Cruz poked the bear by writing on X that they were probably off having dinner with Newsom "at the French Laundry." Cruz meant it as a powerful burn, but Newsom shot back by reminding everyone of the time Cruz fled Texas for Cancun while Texans were being devastated by a harsh winter storm. He has mastered the art of sarcasm. Either Newsom or his social media manager is as chronically online as the rest of us and is getting in on the FAFO trend. Sometimes all he needs to do is laugh at Trump. Newsom has been leading the charge, fighting against the Trump administration's use of ICE to enact their cruel immigration policies, including dunking on Donald Trump Jr. for being his dad's mouthpiece and starting a ridiculous wireless phone company. Newsom's whole social media team deserves a raise for this one! Using the "old man yells at clouds" meme to describe Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher will never not be hilarious. Newsom's press office posted a video montage of his back and forth with conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren, which included Newsom making fun of her by posting, "Tomi's account is basically Yelp for toilets now," with the caption "thoughts and prayers." Hilarious. Further proof that Newsom has hired funny, young, and chronically online people to run his press office. Talking down to Trump and throwing his own book (The Art of the Deal) back in his face will never not be funny. Superimposing Vance's face on the meme of Raygun doing a terrible "break dance" at the Olympics is the reason Photoshop was invented. Calling White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller "Voldemort's hand" and using Cards Against Humanity to say Newsom is hurting him? Chef's kiss. No notes. This Republican made the mistake of filming his anti-Newsom "rap" — we're being generous calling it that — with a cutout of the governor behind him so that it looks like Newsom is taking him from behind.

Timothy Olyphant Was Offered Vin Diesel's Role in the FAST & FURIOUS Franchise; Does He Regret Turning It Down? — GeekTyrant
There are some actors who have become synonymous with the long-standing roles they've played, both in television and in movies. For Vin Diesel, the first movie(s) most people think of when they hear his name is typically one of the Fast and Furious franchise flicks. He has starred in the role of Dom Toretto across eight films, which is pretty rare for any actor. He has lived that character since 2001, and the films have been among the biggest hits of his career, though he has several more franchises under his belt. Still, the role was almost someone else's, and as Hollywood tends to shuffle through the actors they want, and who's available, it makes sense. But the first choice is kind of a surprising one. Timothy Olyphant had appeared in several hit movies in the 90s, and was a rising star with a busy acting schedule when he was asked to star in The Fast and the Furious . He turned it down to take on other projects, and has gone on to star in many TV and film roles, but does he ever regret not taking the part that has gone on to produce paycheck after paycheck for Diesel? When asked just that by The Hollywood Reporter, Olyphant replied: 'The pitfall here is that it's very hard to answer that question without feeling like I'm offending somebody. So, if I start saying, 'No, it's never occurred to me,' or 'No, I've never seen those movies,' it just starts to sound like … ugh, let's say I didn't ever say that. I love those movies. I'm thrilled that they worked for everybody involved.' Well that was very diplomatic of him. It sounds like he's pointing to not feeling like he missed much, but insists he 'loves' those movies. I'm sure he is glad for the outcome, and for the success the actors involved have had. He's had his own success, and it's actually kind of weird to think of anyone but Diesel playing the part. It certainly seems to have all worked out for the best.

The World's Best Hotels for Music Lovers
Music isn't just something we stream—it's something we seek out. In an era where live experiences are more coveted than ever, travelers are chasing sound in all forms: flying to Europe to catch Taylor Swift on the cheap, crisscrossing the country to see Dead & Co. on their (latest) farewell tour, or mapping out itineraries around festivals, crate-digging sessions, or that perfect late-night set. Gig tripping may be a deemed a recent trend, but fans have been doing this for decades. Hotels have taken note. Music programming is becoming more intentional, and properties are investing in everything from intimate performance spaces and analog listening rooms to in-house vinyl libraries. Some are designed around musical eras, with suites named for opera characters; others curate playlists to pair with tasting menus. I get the appeal. My first job out of college was at an indie rock magazine. I married a former music writer and DJ, and together we've amassed a vinyl collection in the thousands. We even produced a toddler so into music that we've built entire vacations around exposing him to new instruments and genres (sitar in India, qanun in Saudi Arabia, and dancehall in Jamaica). What follows are 10 hotels where music isn't just background noise—it's the whole reason to book. Our top picks: Best for shredding in your suite with a borrowed Fender: Hotel Ziggy Best for grunge pilgrims and indie rock fans: Hotel Crocodile Best for classical connoisseurs: Schloss Elmau
