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 …

There are thousands of delicious restaurants in this city! So many hidden gems waiting to be discovered... Tried and true classics... This group only needs to have one common interest: the love of food. Let's discover these fantastic places together!

Some company that can comment or help you with your culinary escapades? Join the …

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 …

A Taste of Sunday meets every few weeks for brunch in Milwaukee.  We also get together for tapas, booze, and other tasty stuff.  If you enjoy eating, meeting new people, a well-made Bloody Mary, or combining two words to make a better, funnier sounding word, you will absolutely love this group. If an event is full, don't be afraid to join the waiting list; there are usually a few openings by the actual date of the event.  If you planned to attend an event but need to cancel, we ask that you prom …

This is a group for expatriates living or working in the Milwaukee, WI, area as well as to anyone with an international mindset. I am originally from Brazil and created this group to meet other expatriates and network, have fun, and exchange useful information about expat life. Initially I would like to have meetings once a month -- but we can increase/decrease the frequency as needed. Meetings will be mainly "happy hour" style, but might include dining, sight seeing, and other fun activities. G …

Northside Wine Collection Club is an established form of alternative investment that can offer impressive returns. The wine market is based upon simple supply and demand economics. Bordeaux has the most stable financial market of all wine producing regions, while in each decade only 3-4 vintages out of every 10 have wines of a high enough quality for investment purposes. A chateau can only produce a unique and finite amount of wine each year. As this is happening the wine is maturing and becomin …

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 …
