What we’re about

Thanks for considering joining Sophisticated Eaters and Drinkers of Broward / PBC!

We're only "sophisticated" in that we recognize quality food and drink, which, by the way, need not empty our savings accounts!

We're a diverse group of mostly singles and mostly aged 55+, but everyone is welcome to join us at food and drink events across South Florida, from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach.

We come together for the joy of eating, drinking, making new friends, and sharing our travel and dining experiences.

There is an emphasis on positivity and gratefulness rather than on complaining and criticizing.

We do not rotate the same tired restaurants week after week, with the same members showing up event after event.

There is never a group charge.

Our events fall into two categories: hosted restaurant events organized by me and others, and unhosted events that range from cooking classes to food festivals.

For the latter type, follow the link to purchase tickets for each event as soon as possible, as some of these events sell out quickly.

The group only lists these events, does not sponsor them, and depends on members to determine if each event is appropriate for them.

The only costs to you are associated with unhosted events that you choose to participate in, and of course, your food and drink at hosted events!

At hosted dinner events, we order entrees.

For breakfast and lunch events, we generally order what we wish, although ordering something significant, whether an omelet, salad, or a sandwich, will ensure that we’ll be welcomed back to the restaurant in the future.

Separate checks will always be issued wherever we eat.

We leave political and religious discussions to other meetup groups and our friends, neighbors, and family members outside the group.

We limit our phone use when we're together and focus on eating and socializing.

You're sure to fit right in if you value civility, humor, and good conversation.

Bring a good appetite and your gift for gab.

My best,

Steve
