What we’re about

We are fanatic about the complex balance of flavors and textures in food. We enjoy taking time to explore and learn about cuisines and languages of the world by reading menus, paying attention to taste, temperature, and texture, and visiting restaurants to find deliciousness, especially in slow-cooked, homestyle dishes. We analyze and discuss which dishes taste amazing and why. We are unabashed omnivores (we love grains, meats, seafood, and vegetables) and looking for like-minded people to join us in this hobby.

We don't give much weight to advertising, atmosphere, celebrity chefs, cuteness, Eater Austin, Instagram, novelty, Google/Yelp ratings, reviews, or what's trending.

You should care about and pay attention to flavors and textures and be open to unfamiliar or uncomfortable ingredients, preparations, and/or sensations!

We will learn and use words/names in languages of China (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien), India (Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu) Latin America (Spanish, K'iche', Nahuatl), and other regions in the world.

Be active:  Attend at least one event every two weeks.

Be considerate:  If you RSVP for an in-person event and will not attend, update your RSVP at least one day before the event begins.

Be respectful:  We expect this to be a friendly, social group where all of our members feel comfortable and safe.
