This is a group who knows the importance of eating locally grown, organically grown produce.

We have potlucks, we dine out, we go to foodie events, we share recipes and favorite foodie websites, and generally share enjo …

This is not a competition for your pet mole to compete against someone else's pet mole. This is a competition between Mexican restaurants to determine who has the best mole sauce in Austin. Every 2 weeks, we visit restaurants to taste and score their mole... and to hang out with other cool people who happen to love mole. I don't know how many months these Olympics will last. But by the time we're done, one restaurant will be awarded the Holy Mole Gold Medal for mole so good, it's a religious exp …

This group is for people who can't get enough of How I Met Your Mother and wanna live their lives like the characters. I can't promise we will have as much FUN, but we will give it a shot.
