Our ladies-only book club started year ten together in Oct, 2012.  That is > 100 book shared.  Meetings are filled with lively conversation and fun related to the book themes. At every meeting, we tie in food or an activity.

Public transportation is excellent.  Members are all ages and stages of life, from college to retirement.  We are also on facebook as a private group. Many meeting …

This group was established not just to have a good time "meeting up" but it was put in place to enjoy d …

This is a group that has dinners in restaurants. While there is a number of vegan and raw groups, our focus is a little different. We are looking to have events at restaurants that will provide vegan and raw options at our events. It may not always be possible to have a raw option but that is one of our goals. Another one of our goals is to have events at restaurants thay may not be only vegetarian/vegan or raw. We would like to show the traditional types of restaurants that there is a market fo …

Are you familiar with the ideas of the White City? How about underground dining? Or pop up restaurants? I'm forming a group to go to a series of pop up dinners inspired by Chicago's 1893 World's Fair Columbian Exposition: The series of hosted events is similar to secret or underground supper clubs, but each will happen in different and unexpected locations, much like flash dinners or popup restaurants. Dinners will be designed by a series of awesome guest chefs. The menu and Chicago neighborhood …

I started this group after meeting several people like myself who absolutely love Door County, Wisconsin. As anybody who has been there will tell you, Door County has an intangible jè ne çe pas, an aura of healthiness and happiness that just cannot be explained. As you drive up the peninsula, crossing Sturgeon Bay, you start feeling healthy and robust, as if all of your troubles have been left behind. Door County is a place like no other. It is a land of gorgeous cliffs, bluffs and rock outcrop …

I Like Red (and white) Wine is a group for GAY wine and food lovers. The idea is to provide an alternative outlet for GAY MEN to meet to pursue this interest and to also provide other social opportunities. Learning about legs and noses is great but getting together because you simply enjoy wine/food and to meet people is better. This isn't so much about learning but getting together because of a common theme. The idea is to create a community with a real life outlet. Hopefully, we will be able t …

As a busy working mom, I needed help getting dinner on the table and searched for a solution that did not include me doing all the work, every night. I found that the meal assembly kitchen in my neighborhood, Entree Kitchen, was the perfect solution. Best part of all, it's fun to make a month's worth of meals in an hour or two when I meet new people and bring along some friends.

I created this group because I love to cook! Simple dishes & meals are my specialty. In my many years of traveling all over the U.S., it never fails that I meet a bunch of single guys at the local restaurant eating dinner at the bar. A lot of these guys have told me they would rather save a little money and eat at home but they don't know how to cook. Not even a simple meal. My cooking classes will offer you an alternative to eating out, carry out and pizza delivery. Plus, a guy who can cook is …
