A lot of what Will and I do together centers around food. He loves cooking and we both love eating.
Restaurants
Yep, this one is kind of obvious. We like eating, so we like eating at restaurants. A few years ago we combined gift cards for Lettuce Entertain You – a restaurant group – and went bananas at Shaw’s Crab House. I love crab legs, but won’t ordinarily order them because of the cost. That night, I had a pound of them. Will had Surf and Surf (a lobster tail each from Maine and South Africa). We still talk about that seafood feast.
Cooking Classes
Last Christmas, Will gave me a gift card to The Chopping Block – a local cooking store and school. I’d been to a class with some girlfriends and loved it, so Will wanted to try it out with me. We got another gift card from my parents, so now we just need to pick a class.
While The Chopping Block is Chicago-based, there are cooking schools all over that offer classes for groups of friends or date nights.
Other Food Experiences
Check your local businesses for other classes. I’ve had success with the Parks Department – especially in the Winter when they are trying to move activities indoors and coupon sites like Groupon or YouSwoop.
I had a great time learning how to make jam with my sister and a friend. I’d love to try cake decorating or sushi-making as well. A group of girlfriends did a wine tasting class once, and it was fantastic. Will and I also enjoyed touring a brewery with another couple.
There are also assorted food festivals throughout the year, from the simple (Pumpkin Pie Bake-Offs around Thanksgiving) to the fancy (Gourmet food events).
… and yes, I suggest you buy a ticket for yourself as well when considering Foodie events (if reasonable). Part of the fun is making memories with you, the gift-giver.
