While I don’t know the purpose of the unofficial holiday, I shall not protest. Still, I wonder. Was there was a huge rally of deviled egg eaters who demanded its day in the spotlight.

It doesn’t really matter, though. The deviled eggs are always at the heart of a party, even since back in the day in Rome where this was a luxurious first course. It is the ultimate party goer. That’s probably why it has its own special day, and I’m OK with that.
Here are a few deviled egg recipes that you can find along your road trip. What restaurants have deviled eggs on their menu? Or maybe you have a recipe of you’re own that you’d like to share. Maybe you have a stake in the battle to decide ‘Which brand of mayo is better?’ Either way, we’re always glad to hear from you.
