Meet the Eight at Eight hostess: Kait in Chicago

Ever wondered what our hostesses do during the day? You might be pleasantly surprised to hear that they’re very much like you! The Singles Scoreboard sat down with Kait, our lovely hostess in Chicago, to hear what she has to say:

The Singles Scoreboard: What do you when you’re not being a fabulous hostess at an Eight at Eight event?

Kait: I practice real estate law, teach LSAT classes, adore hostessing for Eight at Eight and follow Notre Dame football like it’s a job.

TSS: So you’re a full-time renaissance woman?

K: I suppose? (giggling)

TSS: We have many self-proclaimed foodies and food enthusiasts who enjoy the “dinner” aspect of the dinner party concept as much as they enjoy meeting 4 new potential dates. What cuisine/food would rival a good date for you?

K: I’m from Chicago, so pizza, of course. Art of Pizza is my personal favorite. Indian food is not far behind.

TSS: I’m sure you’ve seen it all by now having been a hostess for quite some time. Drawing from your personal and professional experiences, what kind of dating tips do you have to offer?

K: I'm not sure I can come up with anything more brilliant than what the Eight at Eight ladies already put out there, but I'll reiterate the importance of keeping an open mind. I think a lot of people come into the dinners with an idea of their ideal mate and want everyone there to match the picture in their head or possess a laundry list of qualities. I have yet to meet a member I think is perfect, but I know tons that are fabulous – I try to make it part of my job to learn at least one thing about every member that they are passionate about. Sometimes finding a great conversation topic will totally make someone sparkle in a way you didn't initially notice. Also, I adore manners! People who say "please" and "thank you" win me over almost instantly.

TSS: Words of wisdom from our very own hostess, Kait, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for your time! Please continue your fantastic work with Eight at Eight Dinner Club…Did we just win you over with our mad manners, or what?

K: Absolutely! (laughing) Thank you for having me on!
