  Hello Young Crickets! This is a group that originally started out as searching for Chaat Houses in the SF area.  However, we decided to eeeeeexxxxxxpand the venue to San Francisco Landmark restaurants. Honestly, we weren't able to find that many Chaat Houses in this area. And thus, Just Chaat and More was born! I will be posting a list of Landmark Restaurants that we can visit-  the city (and beyond?) is our oyster? Until we eat the oyster? Hmmm, let's find out!   Thanks!   Karen    

… Also, most of our dinners involve reserving large tables at small restaurants, and it's unfair to have them hold that table if unnecessary.    

A friendly and inviting group of neighborhood locals looking to expand their culinary skills, learn about unique cultural dishes, enjoy good food and wine, and get to know more people living both in SOMA and throughout the city.

The environment is casual and will foll …

ATTENTION ADVENTUROUS EATERS! If you've seen Andrew Zimmern's "Bizarre Foods" TV show, you know the purpose for this Meetup. We're about trying "bizarre foods", too!  Consider this as "Bizarre Foods" meets "Fear Factor" At a restaurant, after the group orders "normal food", a bizarre food will be ordered for the group to share. When the bizarre food arrives, each person takes their turn to sample it.  If they are a timid eater, we may ask that person to try more.  After they give their impressio …

Frugal foodies is a group for those who are 40-50ish, single (but not required), and hungry for good food at a great price. There are plenty of dining groups but not that many seem to either be in my age or price range, or go for foods that I find accessible. This group is for single, 40ish-50ish men and women, who want to dine with smart, interesting people at the Bay Area’s top, yet affordable restaurants. I’m talking about restaurants with entrees that are typically $15-$25, and have more st …

Come meet and eat with other people interested in vegan dining. People with any diet are welcome. All food ordered will be vegan. Come to a meetup, eat, and discuss living a healthy vegan lifestyle, local restaurants, movies, and any other topic under the sun. The point is simply to eat, meet old friends, and make new ones. And to try out new restaurants or at least ones that are new to you. We've had many wonderful meals and fun times. We mostly meet in Berkeley and Oakland. I try to mix up t …

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 gro …

Hello Ladies, There are so many of us out here in the San Francisco and Bay Area; we all have different interests, different backgrounds and skills, as well as different preferences in what we eat.

Whether you want to try new restaurants, meet some new, exciting, and different people, or simply just build your connections... I invite you to join us for some of our lunc …
