A private clubhouse for food clubs

From “we should really do this” to “see you Saturday.”

Foodies is a private clubhouse for your food-loving friend group — where the wine club actually happens, the potluck has a date, and everyone knows exactly what they’re bringing.

Sound familiar?

You’ve read this thread before.

Someone says “we should start a wine club.” Everyone agrees — enthusiastically, in writing. Then the thread does what threads do: dates float and never land, “who’s bringing what” gets asked twice and answered never, and three weeks later comes the saddest sentence in group dining.

It’s not that anyone stopped wanting to. A group chat is where enthusiasm lives — and where follow-through goes to die. The friends are real. The riesling is real. What’s missing is a place where the plan becomes concrete.

Cause of death: nobody picked a date.

From thread to table

The moment it becomes
a real club.

Foodies gives the idea a door to walk through. Found the club: name it, take a crest, set a rhythm — third Saturdays, first Sundays, whenever-you-can. Then send one link. Your people tap it and they’re members. No forms, no feeds, no 200 unread messages.

we should really do this
yes!! next month?
someone make a doc lol

Keep it going

Recap in minutes, then lock in the rhythm — each gathering tees up the next. Who’s hosting?

Save as tradition
Braised & Confused Tradition

Step III feeds step II — that’s the whole trick. Each gathering creates the next one.

The product

Three screens, doing the invisible work.

Everything that turns a friend into an unpaid project manager — chasing RSVPs, preventing duplicate dips, remembering whose turn it is — lives here instead.

The recap

Three minutes after, one question that keeps the tradition alive.

Between screens: the nudge

When something’s unresolved, Foodies quietly asks the right person — never the whole thread. “Dinner is Saturday. Dessert is still open.” One clear action, easy to do now, rare enough to stay welcome.

One clubhouse, any ritual

Whatever your group
keeps meaning to do.

Wine night The monthly dinner The cook-off The potluck Tasting club Friendsgiving Sunday supper Backyard BBQ your thing goes here
The long game

Gatherings become history. History becomes tradition.

Every recap files itself into the club’s book: the dish worth repeating, the bottle everyone still mentions, the photo nobody planned. Not a feed to perform on — a record to belong to. Next year, when someone asks “what was that thing Maya made?”, your club will know exactly.

Where this comes from

Foodies began as a club, not a company.

Ours is called Dual Towers. Years of keeping one dinner alive taught us exactly what kills these things — and it was never the cooking. It was the continuity: the chasing, the spreadsheet nobody opened, the restart from zero every single time. Foodies is the clubhouse we kept wishing existed, built so the tradition outlives the thread it started in.

The club in the screenshots all over this page? That’s ours.

— Dual Towers, still meeting

Start the tradition.

We’re letting clubs in a few at a time. Leave your email — when the doors open, bring your whole group. It only takes one link.

We’ll only email you about Foodies. No spam, ever.

No feeds, no followers — just your people, at a table, on a date that exists.
