MISSION: This group is for foodies interested in exploring a variety of foods, and possibly sharing a good bottle of wine.  Don't let the name fool you, however - this is more about the dining than the wining. We'll go anywhere members would like to go, which could be very high brow but could just as likely be very low key (but please...no chain restaurants).  Socializing is of course, the second facet of the mission, and we think we have one of the best groups for it!! Our focus is on exploring …

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.

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 …
