You know something, my Jap class teacher is also interested in joining your speed dating sessions. Mind if I pass her your link for the next sesh? Or maybe you can give me a head's up, since I only see her once a week. :P
sure i can give her a heads up, but why don't you give her the Culinary-ness facebook page and ask her to like it for now...so when there is an event she can get notified?
Congratulations! How did you find the kitchen/space for your events? Do you have any tips for people who would like to start a similar thing in their own cities?
