Throwdown with Beetnik and Kyle McKinney; Tickets Going Fast for Carnivore's Ball; Ramen Tatsu-Ya Teeshirts

EAST CESAR CHAVEZ — Beetnik, a paleo-focused food delivery company, and Citygram magazine will be hosting a Flay-style throwdown between David Perkins of Beetnik and Kyle McKinney of Barley Swine, who will be making a rare outing as a savory, rather than a pastry, chef. The ingredient of choice: beef shin. The event will be held Thursday August 29 from 7-10pm at 2600 East Cesar Chavez. Tickets are twenty dollars and can be purchased here. [Eaterwire]

HILL COUNTRY — Rumor has it that there are only few tickets left to The Carnivore's Ball on September 15, featuring John Mueller Meat Co. and Sugar Mama's Bakeshop. Garrison Brothers Distillery will also be doing a whiskey tasting class. If you want to eat heaping amounts of meat, down some liquor and then attempt to dance, get your tickets now. [Eaterwire]
