http://blog.dineoutboston.org/: DineOut Boston is a social dining collective devised by a Dbar chef that’s sort of like a platonic Match.com for food lovers.Once you’ve signed up through their website, you’ll start getting email updates about the next meetup. They just launched their new blog! UPDATE: Incredibly sad news came through the day of one of DineOut Boston’s events that the founder of the site and all of the events, suddenly passed away. Jesse Cook was in his late 20s and passed away on November 15, 2011.
