There's a few YC companies hosting Grubwithus meals right now too if you're in the Bay Area and want some first hand knowledge.

We're going to find someone to add to the meal real soon =)

I'm vegetarian so I know your pain. We try to have veggie dishes whenever possible, but that restaurant is a barbecue joint...sorry. I'll see if there's anything they can make though.

Thanks. No worries for this case, though. I just got into the one at La Madia.

Yup =) We've kissed and made amends...

Are you guys going to add anymore YC GWU meals in LA?

The first meal in LA has Hamilton Chen from Paperlinks and Nikhil Pandit from Graffiti Geo (sold to Loopt). The second meal has Joey and Yotam from Earbits and..me

Hamilton is awesome. I don't know Nikhil, but I can say that dinner with Hamilton will be full of great insights on people, products, business, and your ideas. He's an awesome guy, and I'd be grabbing this meal if I was down in LA!

Yeah we'll make sure it happens =)

Ashton has been a very helpful angel for us and he uses so many tech products that he actually gives great advice.

Him not being part of the valley is a plus! Every VC knows the same exact execs at Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, etc, so you get little benefit from having multiple Sand Hill Road VCs on your team. Ashton can connect you to a whole different world of people and influencers who could really help your company.

I want more Ashtons.

The Chicago one will be on Sunday 3/13 at around 1PM. Meal coming out soon. Hope that helps!

Thank you, that helps!

@grubwithus please!
