Gunshow's Hired Guns tickets. Aphrodisiac cooking class. More places to dine on Valentine's Day . This weekend, there's lots of fun, food events happening around town. Add one or all six events to your calendar and be prepared to eat, drink and have a grand ole time. Cheers to weekend and happy Valentine's Day, lovers.
Hired Guns tickets: Here's the deal: Previously, seats for Gunshow's Hired Guns sold out in six hours, so you'll want to set your wake up alarm tomorrow. Tickets for the next Hired Guns featuring Vishwesh Bhatt of Oxford, MS will go on sale at 8 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 13. Bhatt will join the team at Gunshow Mar. 13 – 14. A limited number of tickets, which are $95 each, will be available for each night. Click here to purchase.
Kiss the cook: Saltyard, Springer Mountain Farms and more will team up to host Valentine's Day Cooking at Bloomingdale's from 12-2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13 at Bloomingdale's Lenox Mall. Saltyard's chef Nick Leahy will teach guests to recreate a romantic Valentine's Day Dinner at home using aphrodisiac ingredients. Guests will enjoy giveaways. Best of all, the event is free. Should you want to go from demo to dining, Saltyard is still accepting reservations for its four-course aphrodisiac dinner, which will be $48. Saltyard phone: 404-382-8088.
Misery loves company: For anyone that has had a bad break up, feels lonely (being single can suck), had your date-night babysitter cancel at the last minute or you're just over all the red roses, heart-shaped candy, Styrofoam teddy bears and the those awful musical cards, there's hope. The Original El Taco will be hosting Stupid Cupid Night, a fun-filled evening featuring shots called jilted juice, rebound-a-Ritas and more. For dinner, feed your sorrows with the Misery Loves Company dinner, which serves three to five people and includes tacos, desserts and more for $60. All specials will be available 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 14. Phone: 404-873-4656.
