Carnivores Ball Sydney

Overview

What do Melbourne, Sydney and Austin all have in common? Come August, they will have all been home to the Carnivores Ball, which will soon be having its first Sydney instalment.

The Carnivores Ball is an extravagant soiree dedicated to the (over) consumption of meaty goodness. After sell-out events in Melbourne and Austin, organisers are heading to Sydney in a venture that is sure to make local meat lovers break out in happy, pre-emptive sweats.

Brought to you by Melbourne food blogger and honorary Texan Jess Pryles of BurgerMary (not to be confused with beloved Newtownian burger institution Mary's), the event boasts the inclusion of meat with every course, including dessert. This smorgasbord can be washed down with some locally brewed Young Henrys craft beer.

Participating chefs include Matt Fitzgerald of El Topo and the crew from Hillbilly BBQ. While you battle through the menu, BurgerMary has promised an array of meat-centric activities, including pop-up stalls, gift bags and live music, as well as a mechanical bull to really set the scene.

So, if you started salivating at the thought of a four-course meat-fest, then this is certainly your scene. And considering you don't win friends with salad, the company should be pretty great too.

The Carnivores Ball will be held at the Marrickville Town Hall on August 16. All this protein-infused goodness will set you back $78 per person. Tickets can be purchased via TryBooking.
