So no idea how I didn’t think about posting this on reddit, but I have this really big event this coming weekend, 20-21 of January.
I can probably rumble about this for hours now, but the tldr is that it’s a food festival with chefs from all over the world, all you can eat, all you can drink, 4 hours, foodie event with a carnivore angle (that also can host non meat eaters with the same excitement)
The link for tickets is https://www.exploretock.com/meatcarneval/event/364576/meat-Carneval
And you can use the code BFF to get additional 5% discount.

hope I can see you all there.

Oooh! I had a buddy who paid you guys a visit last year and hadn’t shut up about your food since! Got two tickets for me and my brother!

Who are the chefs from all over the world? I’m not seeing it listed
##NO
Your list of chefs from all over the world is quite long and mostly people from our side of the US and you can only name two of them?
Etch-a-sketch
After looking through their instagram and the people connected, I think it’s a real event. However, I cant tell what it will actually be like? Highbrow lowbrow is a large space that you can do a lot with so maybe it will be like a smaller austin food & wine fest.
From their ig stories, it looks like they do have the chefs they mentioned attached to the event and have also invited Austin “entrepreneurs” but I don’t see any popular foodies talking about it. I think they thought this would be a popular industry exclusive event spread by word of mouth and are now hurting for ticket sales. They then tried to market to those “entrepreneurs” hoping their followers would follow suit to attend a secret, elite event.
The marketing is not great but I’m also confused on what “our side of the US” means because neither of them seem like they live in the US. This accounts for the spelling and grammar mistakes and why all of their social media is in another language. It’s also why the Facebook link in the Tock link is not in English and seems to be selling a spice or dry rub. Very bizarre.
TL;DR: it’s real but idk how well thought out the event will be because the marketing is slapshod at best.
sorry if that is offensive (an event is hard to put together, I get it), but ppl are very wary about paying for events that are not real or do not meet expectations (fyre fest, Austin crawfish fest).
It’s amusing that vegetarians will be taken care of with the same excitement at a festival called MEAT Carneval. That ‘horrifying vegetarians since…’ on your Insta page for this fest makes me think otherwise.
Serious Fyre Festival vibes but of course on a micro scale compared to Fyre.
$225 a ticket?!! No thanks 😂
