Connect and Dine Networking Event

Always Be Connecting’s Connect and Dine series brings people together where real connections happen around great food. These curated networking experiences combine meaningful conversations with exclusive tours of local restaurants, creating a relaxed, fun, and authentic way to build relationships. More than just networking, Connect and Dine is about collaboration, building power partnerships, and creating a culture where people genuinely help each other win. By supporting local restaurants and fostering intentional connections, the series strengthens both individual businesses and the community as a whole, one table at a time.

Our next stop in the Connect and Dine series takes us to I Smell Bacon in Hoffman Estates, a local standout known for its legendary BBQ and authentic smoked flavors. This isn't just a restaurant; it’s a cool, casual space designed for the ultimate hangout. Whether you’re looking to grab a cold drink, catch the game, or relax with friends, I Smell Bacon offers the perfect atmosphere to enjoy incredible food in a high-energy setting.

It’s an ideal spot to connect, collaborate, and experience a true neighborhood gem that prioritizes great community vibes and even better brisket.
