Make friends over dinner with Grubwithus
A new food-centric social networking tool is launching in Philadelphia in this month: Grubwithus is aimed at those who enjoy connecting over food. The site is working with local restaurants to host family-style, prix-fixe meals that diners sign up for online. The catch? No one at the table has ever met before, which should make for an interesting experience (at least that's the aim). Each individual pays ahead of time on the site and the cost includes tax and gratuity to avoid annoying check-splitting after dessert. Some Philly restaurants that Grubwithus is currently working with are Distrito, Nan and JG Domestic.
The founders of the company came up with the idea when they realized how hard it actually is to meet like-minded people in places like bars or clubs — they've always felt that friendships are best made over food. Also, one of their investors is Ashton Kutcher, who would be happy to come and awkwardly take pictures of you with his Nikon COOLPIX during your meal.
