Foodie Dating Sites – HowAboutWe, HiDine And SamePlate

Posted on April 7, 2014

Sameplate logoGOOD MORNING AMERICA – Apr 4 – More dating sites cater to people with a big interest level in food and restaurants. Serious Eats, a food blog & community, has recently partnered with HowAboutWe. HiDine is another dating site for food lovers. Only men can ask women out on a date, and in doing so they commit to picking up the tab. The site has ~3K members with a ratio of two girls to every guy. SamePlate was founded in 2012 by TV producer-writer Jeff Nimoy, after he wanted to find a partner to eat Paleo with him. Users can use the free site to find a gluten-free pizza lover or any other mix of diet and food combinations.
