- 🌿 Savoring Every Adventure Locally — S.E.A.L Dinner Night! 20s and 30s 🍷Needs location
Activity Type: Social | Local Socials
Difficulty: 1 - Accessible
Trip Leader(s): Carlos Moriella, Lauren Buchholz
Registration Type: Registration
Please Click Here to RSVP:https://activities.outdoors.org/a5UUN000001eJub
Audience: 20’s & 30’sDescription: No trail shoes. No bug spray. Just flavor, laughter, and the joy of discovering something new. Because adventure doesn’t always require a backpack. Sometimes, all you need is a fork and the curiosity to discover what’s nearby. Join us for a culinary experience that goes beyond the plate. At S.E.A.L., we celebrate local flavors, the stories shared around the table, and the magic of connecting with genuine people in unexpected places. Each gathering is different. The menu changes, the location shifts, but the spirit stays the same: explore, savor, and live every adventure locally.
This time, we’re trading the forest path for fork and plate, and meeting at a local culinary gem in Rhode Island.
This month’s location:
Eat Korean BBQ & Shabu-Shabu is a modern Korean restaurant that brings together the best of two dining experiences: Korean BBQ , where you grill your own meat right at the table, and Shabu-Shabu , a flavorful hot pot where you cook fresh vegetables, seafood, and thinly sliced meats in a savory broth.
It’s the perfect spot for groups, since the dining is interactive and fun—everyone gets involved in cooking and sharing around the table. The menu features a wide selection of marinated meats, vegetarian options, traditional Korean side dishes ( banchan ), and rich, flavorful broths.
🥂 What to Expect: • A different restaurant every month — no repeats for at least 6 months • Small group vibes (max 10 attendees) • Everyone pays their own way • Open conversations, shared ideas, and trip inspiration Whether you're a foodie, a hiker, or simply someone who craves genuine connection — this is your space.
💬 Who’s It For? This is for anyone who’s hiked with us, is part of the AMC community, or shares our passion for nature, food, and connection. First-timers with the right vibe are also welcome — just bring your curiosity, kindness, and a love for good stories (and flavors). Whether you’ve walked one trail or ten with us, you’re already part of the family.
