As a true foodie, AND a weekend-worker, I feel a need for socializing, eating out and cooking with other single gay men that share this passion. If you love to cook, critique and/or talk about food (amongst other subjects), this could be a fun opportunity to get to know like guys. At this point, there are no dues, simply cost of one's meals or sharing in the cost of cooking a meal.

… The facilitator will lead introductions and then the group will write for an hour. There will then be 15-30 minutes of social time to get to know each other and possibly discuss personal writing successes such as getting published or overcoming writing resistance in some small way.
