Joey’s edit to this post-
Do you have what it takes to bring home the top prize in our first ever Deviled Egg Competition?
Would you like to eat copious amounts of deviled eggs and chat with your favorite GMG Personalities while drinking free coffee ?
If the answer to either of the two questions above is yes, then get your sexy ass down to the Khan Studio Good Morning Gloucester Gallery at 10AM for THE FIRST ANNUAL GMG DEVILED EGG CONTEST!!!
There’s usually some pretty nice pasties as well.
That the concept of deviled eggs began with Ancient Rome? Spicy stuffed eggs were known in 13th century Andalusia. One explanation of how “deviled eggs” got their name is this: An Englishman by the name of William Underwood set up a small condiment business on Boston’s Russia Wharf in 1822. It did pretty well both developing and selling new condiment products. Around 1868, Underwood’s sons began experimenting with a new product created from ground ham blended with a mix of special seasonings. They introduced a product line of seasoned meat products including ham, turkey, chicken, lobster, and tongue. They called the seasoning process “deviling,” and the Underwood “red devil” was born.
Today many other foods, including eggs and crab, are served “deviled.” To be considered deviled, a food has to have a kick from something like Dijon mustard, hot sauce, cayenne pepper or chopped hot peppers.
Underwood’s Deviling process holds U.S. Patent Office trademark NO. 82, granted in 1870, the oldest existing food trademark still in use in the United States. The exact “deviling” recipe remains a company secret to this day.
Bring on your own egg deviling creation, and you could be the winner of the First Annual GMG Deviled Egg Competition to be held Sunday, August 21st during Mug Up at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, 77 Rocky Neck Ave., G3 on Madfish Wharf – 10:00 am. Everyone’s invited, whether you have eggs in your basket or not.

I beg to differ, Joey. I think that GMG readers are of a highly intellectual and curious nature and would want to know the history of deviled eggs – and I gave them good hints on how to make a good deviled egg to boot. The GMG Deviled Egg Competition will be one of the premiere events of the year on Rocky Neck, both for competers and eaters. We have three esteemed judges (Ed Collard, Paul Morrison and Adam Bolonsky) and it will be great fun, not to mention the international prestige entrants have the potential of garnering for themselves and their devilish creations. If you’re reading this and not planning your Sunday morning trip to Rocky Neck, you’re missing out on a once in a lifetime event that you will long regret having missed. You hear that Jenn Cullen.
