There's a few YC companies hosting Grubwithus meals right now too if you're in the Bay Area and want some first hand knowledge.

I'm vegetarian so I know your pain. We try to have veggie dishes whenever possible, but that restaurant is a barbecue joint...sorry. I'll see if there's anything they can make though.

Yup =) We've kissed and made amends...

Re:Ashton Kutcher Joins the Airbnb Team on Thursday May 26, 2011 @06:19AM (#2587202)
Ashton has been a very helpful angel for us and he uses so many tech products that he actually gives great advice.

Him not being part of the valley is a plus! Every VC knows the same exact execs at Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, etc, so you get little benefit from having multiple Sand Hill Road VCs on your team. Ashton can connect you to a whole different world of people and influencers who could really help your company.

I want more Ashtons.

Tell HN: Get feedback about your YC application from YC alumni

Posted by eddylu on Saturday March 05, 2011 @03:59PM
from the self-post dept.

Applications for the YC Summer 2011 batch close on March 20th. If you're in the Bay Area or Chicago and want to get some in-person feedback about your application from some YC alumni, Grubwithus is hosting a series of dinners to do just that! Just join the Hacker News Grubwithus group at http://www.grubwith.us/groups/hacker-news and we'll notify you when the meals are posted.

Hey there, I'm one of the founders and actually vegetarian too =) We try to do most of our meals half veggie / half meat but we couldn't make it work with Brazilian, so we had to go all meat on this one. We're definitely going to build in more options for people with dietary restrictions though!
Re:Grubwithus (YC W11) Brings Strangers Together Over Social Meals on Wednesday January 26, 2011 @03:03PM (#2144862)
A few people have actually dated after meeting on Grubwithus. Job offers too. These things happen semi-serendipitously, which makes it better, because everyone goes to the meal with the context of meeting new friends, not some awkward dating context.
Re:Grubwithus (YC W11) Brings Strangers Together Over Social Meals on Wednesday January 26, 2011 @02:35PM (#2144704)
Yeah it's a little confusing. Those are actually the YC alumni that will be speaking to female founders
