About Eat the World
How it all began:
After years of enjoying international people, destinations, food, and cultures, Esther envisioned an idea for an international dinner club. However, it remained simply an idea until the spring of 2008, when a conversation with Maureen got the ball rolling. The conversation quickly led to a casual gathering of people who began to lay the foundations of what has become Eat the World. During that brief meeting held near Laura and Hannah’s desk area, the mission was conceived, the name was chosen, the Board was determined, and the date for the first international dining event was booked. Within a few days, Phil developed the logo and Beth made the reservations. A few weeks later Eat the World officially launched at Little Tokyo Shabu Shabu (as suggested by Scott) in Rowland Heights, California. And as they say—the rest is history.
How often does Eat the World meet?
Approximately every 4 – 6 weeks.
Who can attend the Eat the World international dining society?
Anyone who has attended in the past and anyone invited by the Board or by previous attendees may participate in Eat the World events. Don’t hesitate to “ask” to come along!
Who pays for Eat the World?
As much as we would appreciate a “rich uncle” who would offer to pay for our meals, it’s up to each person who attends to pay for their own meal.
How does Eat the World choose the restaurants?
Before the conclusion of a dinner, those who are gathered decide what type of restaurant they would like to try next. Once ideas are tossed out, a dining establishment is selected according to location and price and the date of the next event is set. If there is difficulty reaching consensus the final decision is left up to the Board.
