November 21 Saturday

Eat like a king at Taste Network’s PRIMAL ATLANTA, an outdoor celebration of fire-cooked meats and the art of butchering. Attendees will enjoy the smoky, savory flavors of a variety of roasted meats cooked over an open fire by local chefs from Muss & Turner’s, Parish, Grindhouse Killer Burgers and more. Professional butchers will be on hand to demonstrate how to break down a pig, cow, goat and lamb in a celebration of whole-animal cuisine. And no meaty meal would be complete without exclusive wines and craft beer. $55-$100. 6 p.m. SweetWater Brewing Company, 195 Ottley Drive. 404-849-3569. www.artofthebutcher.com. (Quatoyiah Murry)

November 21 Saturday

In the grand old tradition of storytelling – before it started coming from the mouth of a sock puppet, that is – the Southern Order of Storytelling presents TELLEBRATION!, a night of storytelling for grown-ups. Emcee Deborah Strahorn and Southern storytellers Tom Daly, Eenee Ferrano and Linda Martin promise not to bore. And any storytelling that doesn’t include some kind of mascot leading sing-alongs is always a plus. 8 p.m. $10. Carter Library, 441 Freedom Parkway. 404-869-9863. www.southernorderofstorytellers.org.
