About This group is for people wanting to find secret dining events. It is also a place for people planning to hold a secret dining event to advertise and sign up guests. What is secret dining? Secret dining is when someone uses their house or some other space to run a cross between an amateur restaurant and an intimate dinner party. Hosts serve up a menu of fresh home cooked dishes and guests make a donation or bring a gift to so say thank you. (A recommended donation can be specified in advan …

Our name couldn't say it better. We love food, wine, chocolate, & travel. Join our local bay area events which range from eating out, chocolate & wine tastings, hiking, foodie events, & local and international excursions (of course we indulge in the first three on these bigger trips too!)

Mission Brunchies is back! Let's do brunch in one of the most diverse, interesting, and foodie-dense areas of the city. From street food to fine dining, we'll do it all. Occasionally, we will also venture out to try good brunch spots in other neighborhoods in San Francisco.

NOTICE: As of 11/7/11, this Meetup group (formerly known as 'Creative Cooks') is under New Management. Greetings Bay Area Creative Cooking Enthusiasts!

Maybe you have (or, maybe you haven't before) traveled to places like Indonesia, South Korea, Philippines, Ghana, Ethiopia, Morocco, Iran, France, Russia, Columbia, Jamaica, or Alabama, but wish you could taste some of these and other authentic foods right in your own back yar …

Calling all Food Lovers who want to eat amazing food, drink good wine AND look and feel good about their bodies. (Basically you want the best of both worlds.) I started this group because it can be done. We Meet up and check out the local SF Restaurants especially in the Pac Heights Area. We enjoy ourselves with incredible food & wine and great conversation. I also get specialized menus made specifically for our group from time to time that is healthy but still tastes great. We then meet to do f …

We love listening to interesting stuff. From String Theory to Seventeenth Century Scandal and everything in between. We're foodies at heart, love the New Yorker, dabble with Freakanomics and have been known to indulge in a bit of RadioLab. There is just so much out there and finding it might be quite overwhelming. Also, the cool people making these amazing audio bytes (Audio/Podcast producers) need hints on making their programmes, what their listeners really thought and maybe some inspiration …

Meet female foodies interested in checking out SF's top restaurants and more. Enjoy delicious meals, great conversation and make new friends.

Some of the restaurants on my list include Foreign Cinema, Piperade, Poleng Lounge, Salt House, Town Hall, Bacar, Delfina, Zuni Cafe and Sushi Bistro. I am open to suggestions includ …

While most events are focused on paper crafts like scrapbooking or card making we welcome crafters of all styles. We’re also a foodie group. Many of us are Etsy fans or Pinterestaholics. Check out the different types of events that we m …

Brrr... it's cold out there. Come join like minded foodies for Sunday dinner. Whereas Sunday is often leftovers night, join us for a home cooked meal and make new friends. Comfort food will be the theme as the cold weather leaves us craving heavier dishes and warmer food. The emphasis will be on fresh, locally grown and organic produce, free-range meats and California wines. Think sinful desserts made with Calebaut Chocolate, sweet berries, or Creme Brulee if you're game. If you like cooking wit …

There are lots of dining groups on Meetup; I belong to some. And they're great. But I don't see anything devoted to the goofy, offbeat restaurants and snack shops and events that can make eating a purposefully amusing experience. Tabletops before tablecloths, go cups before goblets, fun before fancy, cute before culinary. I don't want to be a decadent foodie all the time! This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this group …

As a true foodie, AND a weekend-worker, I feel a need for socializing, eating out and cooking with other single gay men that share this passion. If you love to cook, critique and/or talk about food (amongst other subjects), this could be a fun opportunity to get to know like guys. At this point, we charge $5/month dues.

Let's meet up and do fun things in the Bay Area together!

Go to places with good burgers, pulled pork, steaks, etc and consume them, with good beer/wine.

This is a 2-pronged activity group for the more mature (ahem! 45+ members) that I want to create, and the two planned activities may or may not intersect: (1) a monthly dining group that will try out various restaurants in our very diverse Bay Area (taking a cue from restaurants featured on CHECK PLEASE, BAY AREA); and (2) a movie/video group that can go to quality films on (a) a matinee basis and (b) eventually screen videos at home of past classics mingled with a potluck dinner. Geographically …

Meet other Sailors, from experts to those who have never tried it - and those just out of classes but still new to the sport/lifestyle.

Hello SF women-runner-enthusiasts! My name is Kelly and I manage the company, IRUNLIKEAGIRL. So, what's IRUNLIKEAGIRL? We are an activewear fashion brand (www.irunlikeagirl.com) with a greater purpose of bringing women together that are out to activate the lives they want for themselves. It often takes courage to take the leap of faith needed to chase down your dream career, finish a marathon, etc... but we feel that if you surround yourself with other positive, like-minded people, you will like …

Potluck parties have an element of surprise. You get to taste foods that you would probably not make yourself. If you are looking to connect with great people, and to foster a stronger sense of community over delicious food this would be an excellent place to begin! We will gather at least once a month in a member's home.  Any member can host and suggest a meetup.  Whoever is hosting the potluck will decide on a theme (French, tapas, citrus, etc.) and/or activity (movie night, pictionary, etc), …

Do you love cupcakes? They're small, bite-sized and utterly yummy! What's not to like, right? Over the past few years I've enjoyed the cupcake craze started by Sex and the City in New York and Los Angeles. I've visited the original Magnolia and Crumbs bakeries in those fine cities, now I want to explore cupcake yumminess in the Bay Area with other cupcake fans. Every month or so we'll visit a cupcake venue, compare flavors and textures, and share our opinions. I look forward to meeting you over …

We're a group that loves to cook, eat and drink together! I created this group to meet people who love cooking food and sharing it with other people. The East Bay has some great restaurants but what really makes it is the community it brings together. What better way to bring community together than over a shared, home cooked meal? We'll meet about once a month at a group member's home. Let me know if you are interested in hosting, organizing or have an idea for a themed potluck.

If you are a coffee enthusiast or your just want to know more about coffee this is a great group for you to join. We will be tasting, roasting, and exploring different brewing methods.

Do you live in Oakland and realize how baddass it is but yet have very few people to enjoy that with? ME TOO! I'm looking for people in the Oakland area primarily in their late 20's to late 30's, to go out eat, hike, dance, drink, sing, skip and party with! Whether it be the farmer's market on Grand on Saturday mornings, or the art walk on Friday evenings, or Van Kleef's amazing grapefruit goodness, let's get out and explore Oakland! I, myself, am very new to this amazing cultural mecca and coul …
