I'm a 24 year old who works in the Chicago theater community. I have a little bit of a food obsession and love to plan meals, cook for myself, cook for my girlfriend, and cook for large groups of people.
My friends and I have a weekly "Food Club" where I make them food and they bring me booze. It's pretty much awesome- I get to cook and eat AND get free beer. It changes weekly depending what's cooking, but we have Grill Club, Chili Club, Taco Club, Soup Club- you get the idea.
