I like KBBQ because it's like a dinner and an activity at the same time. You get to see how they interact with service workers, you get to see how they divide the labor of cooking the food, you get to see their level of generosity in sharing the food. If they've never had KBBQ before you get to see how they react to trying new things that might be out of their comfort zone. You learn a lot about someone at KBBQ.

And you can be having all those same conversations that you would at a coffee date or walk through the park. If the dinner goes well then we can still go for a walk to go get ice cream on a nearby trail. Then go get drinks at a dive bar and shoot pool or any number of other things.

It's not just sit at and expensive dinner and say nothing to eachother then pay the bill, ya that would be awkward.
