Yes grubwithus is doing something similar, nobody really owns this space yet though. I would reconsider the name, the word "strangers" doesn't help with people's anxiety towards meeting new people or hosting dinners. One thing is for sure, most people like to eat and most people like good company, good stuff.

Haha, that was one of the feedback we've received. A very good advisor of mine even suggested New Friends for Dinner. Ultimately though we hope the morbid humour of the phrase "Strangers for Dinner" or even worse: "Strangers for Donner "[1] would pull through.
