Founded in October of 2003 at the Gay Men’s Health Summit, this group has been a focus as a source for gay men to meet in a non-club environment. The Spicy Dinner Group started with 12 men with an interest in hot and spicy foods attending a covered dish dinner; since then, they have grown to over 300 members! Each dinner now has an average attendance of 60-75 people and has become a social event that is looked forward to. Although the name remained the same, the dishes now being brought reflect so many different styles and tastes: from gourmet to casseroles, spicy to sweet, handmade to store bought, and ethnic to "down home." They meet one Saturday a month at 7 PM and the host and location of the event changes per dinner.
