We hold at our core a value pyramid of fun, food, and friendship. It is a combination and a reduction of both Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the FDA’s Food Pyramid.

We are the uncouthgourmands. A group that believes that food, fun, and friendship are the delightful troves of life. We are playful and passionate people who are empowered to meet strangers. We break the rules of fine dinging and etiquette. We boost teetering leaps of faith when it comes to meeting new exciting people and trying new foods. We question conventional approaches to eating and socializing.

Fun: To never take ourselves or the food on our plate too seriously. Laughter is always our favorite ingredient.

Food: Food is culture, context, and a melting pot. We know that it serves many more purposes than survival. We will always strive to try whatever is in front of us (unless it will kill us) as we know that someone worked hard to create it.

Friendship: We treat our friends as family. We make everyone feel welcome and feel that the best friendships are created over a good meal. 

This is us. This is you. This is where you belong. Welcome to the uncouthgourmands.
