I will be hosting an Organizer Social at the Chow Down for those in the group that can make it AND want to find out more about the group...what we do, how we do and how you can take part in the group.  I am always looking for folks to help out in various ways. It is easy, it is fun and is a great way to make new friends...oh, did I mention the PERKS? Yes, there are PERKS!

So, come out and find out more about Good Eats and Meets...you can reach me at goodeatsandmeets@live. or[masked] for whatever reason.  If you cannot make it or want to chat another time, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will be there at 6pm. Look for me by our sign.

They will have a van and a tent and we will meet beside the station set-up.  Look for the Good Eats Meets sign that will be near there...it is great area to bring chairs and hang out.

The Chow Down Uptown is back for its third year! Charlotte’s finest food truck festival showcases local food trucks and live acoustic music at the 7th Street Parking Lot (located across from the 7th Street Public Market). Food vendors will be selling delicious choices including gourmet pizza, Italian heroes, pulled pork grilled cheese sandwiches, BBQ ribs, pastries, cupcakes and more.

Good Eats and Meets has some great news for those attending.  Based on feedback from our members in that they were having a hard time finding others in the group, we have arranged for an official "Good Eats and Meets" Meeting Spot!  K104.7 plans to be on-hand for each of the rallies on 7th Street.  They will have a van and a tent and we will meet beside the station set-up.  Look for the Good Eats Meets sign that will be near there...it is great area to bring chairs and hang out. Find other GEAM'ers and make some new friends.
