Meetup meets Groupon/daily deals, but better. What’s better then great food at nice restaurants? How about enjoying it while meeting new people. What’s even better then that? How about saving 30% to 50% at the restaurants while doing all this. This group is first and foremost about discovering new restaurants and food, meeting new friends, and enjoying an evening in a fun and casual way. But why not also save money while doing it. We take the best of Meetup and married with the deal phenomenon b …

This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this gro …

… What we’ll do: We may explore different ethnic foods that San Francisco has to offer (I’m personally done with fine dining – so it’ll generally be ethnic/wholesome good food – but never say never!)
