About Globally Intrepid Gourmets

YOU'RE INVITED


WHAT
GIG is an international dining group for adventurous foodies started by me, Maureen. I am a foodie chick who works in the restaurant industry and loves to travel the globe and study other cultures. Our group is inspired by Anthony Bourdain's intrepid philosophy of travel and eating.

WHY
I started this group to meet some fun new people to check out Chicago's assortment of ethnic restaurants with. Who knew it would grow to several hundred fabulous & interesting gourmets?

WHEN
We meet once a month (Fourth Sunday, 6PM) to dine on authentic menus chosen by someone who has solid experience with the culture & cuisine of a country or region. Sometimes that's me and sometimes that's another group member. If you have expertise with a certain international cuisine, please let me know - a potential future event!

HOW
Payment is always via PAYPAL, so if you're not OK with that, this group is not for you.
Group dinners are a challenge to organize, and PAYPAL makes it simpler for all. There's a signup, payment and cancellation policy: click here and here to read them.
These policies protect me and the restaurants from shortages and loss due to last-minute cancellations.

WHO
Anyone is welcome: couples, singles, Chicago natives, those new in town!

Our menus are for adventurous, omnivorous foodies and may not be for those with dietary restrictions or limited preferences. Please check the menu online before committing to an event. Some events may have vegetarian options, but not all will. We will do our best to accommodate special needs.
