Never Eat Alone

You know that popular business networking/motivational book "Never Eat Alone"? Well I've never read it, but I'm pretty sure I don't have to pay $14.95 to get the point. Other books the author should write are "Never Watch a Movie Alone", "Never Play Board Games Alone", and "Never Get Stranded on an Iceberg While Being Chased By Six Polar Bears Alone". Anyway, the point is that many things suck if you're doing it alone, but eating alone really sucks.

In grade school, my favorite classes were lunch and recess. In college, my favorite classes were lunch and sleep. When I started my career in Consulting, my favorite time was definitely lunch, when 12 of your favorite coworkers would spend 1-2 hours not doing work. When I decided to work at an Investment Bank, lunch consisted of going across the street to pick up food, then running back to your desk to eat alone and stare at the screen for another 12 hours. It was the first time that lunch wasn't fun.

Food is such an important component of our lives that we should definitely enjoy it whenever we can. I've had my fair share of dinners alone in my apartment and it's never pleasant. Since I'm only cooking for myself, I'm too lazy to cook up fresh food and end up getting take-out or heating up some Lean Cuisine. That's why we're creating this site.

We're creating a place where anyone can basically create a restaurant at their home, center it around an activity (such as watching the NBA Finals - Go Lakers!!), and have your paying guests and new friends come over to eat a great home cooked meal. Never Eat Alone!
