Reason I'm asking, is....I'd like to do "something" like this....by "something" meaning I don't want to charge, I just want to have "somewhat-strangers" over for dinner.....
actually, what I was thinking about was inviting maybe 4 other people (or two couples) over my place from cheftalk or something, and each person cooks, or brings a dish. I have an OK kitchen, roomy enough for a few people...
even do it kitchen/grill style....and dine al fresco.
check this out...this is an old co-worker of mine who gets together and holds these "mock" iron chefs....

granted they are all good friends, but....well....my(our) friends...for the most part just wouldn't be into it...
we were also looking to join a dinner club/social kind of thing, but can't seem to find anything in NJ. (yeah NYC is close enough, but that bridge/tunnel sucks!)
