Meetup.com is a way of meeting other people with similar interests. Like if you were looking for people to go watch football with, play bowling or say - eat sushi! Of course there are sushi meet ups all over the place. You just state your interest and your location - an voilà - you have your peers! Fantastic idea!

Time calls it “A convenient, non-threatening way to connect to other people who share similar interests and live nearby.”, while the Newsweek says that it: “…helps groups of strangers organize monthly powwows at local watering holes.” This is a great way for people to get together to do the things they love!

The image I found on the group for L.A. Sushi & Asian Foodies. This group wants you to “meet other local foodies who wish to share sushi & Asian cuisines and explore new Asian restaurants around town. We will explore both high end gourmet as well as highly recommended local dives in search of a great place to eat and meet others who share our love of Asian food.” Looking at their pictures, it seems to be a good crowd having a great time!

Check it out - see if there are sushi groups meeting around where you come from!
