For People 23-40 Years Old.  Every week we pick one restaurant in Santa Monica to dine at until we've been to every restaurant in town.  We DO NOT include national fast food chains, but will include smaller Mom and Pop type places and local chains when appropriate;  choosing 1 dive restaurant a month, at least 1 ethnic restaurant a month, and 1 high end ($$$$). Because reservations are often required and out of respect for the restaurants that save us the tables,  only people who show up after R …

Meet other single food lovers (most in their 30's and 40's) at restaurants in all price ranges that are rated the "Best In LA."

We also enjoy temples appearing in Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and Gourmet, as well as gourmet food trucks and brand new restaurants that are wonderful enough to be swooned over in the food press and blogosphere.

LA Dinner Club introduces an exciting new spin to the dining experience. Think the club promoter business model, but for restaurants. Therefore, instead of DJ’s featured as the centerpiece of the evening… it’s Chef’s. We assume full control of a participating restaurant, on their slowest night – typically Monday’s, select a bad ass culinary god and pair the feast with a local winemaker. To make it interesting for the our guest executive chef we challenge them to utilize the existing inventory  …

There are definitely many singles who are also vegetarian/vegan (or at least singles who like vegetarian/vegan food) in the SoCal region, interested in meeting people of the opposite gender.  Many people who fit these characteristics are very busy and don't have the time to search and find compatible people. That's where this group can definitely help out. Health conscious people usually have many other common aspects besides what they eat (or don't eat) such as the basic one--many are actually …
