In this entertaining report from the Mohave Daily News, we learned that an apparent ringer entered the annual Sidewalk Egg Fry in Oatman, Ariz., on the Fourth of July.
Bob Blumer, host of an upcoming Food Network show “Glutton for Punishment,” won first place in both cooking device and showmanship. He used a frying pan spray-painted silver with a bunch of mirrors attached to it.
By the way, it was 112 degrees during the event. The sun was so intense that one egg cooked in a mere seven minutes, and it was overdone.
