What better way to learn the history of New Orleans than through its distinctive food culture. Beth, our guide, was great… her knowledge and humor were both on point. Well fed with delicious gumbo, pralines, banana bread pudding, hot sauces, red beans and rice, po’boy, muffuletta, & boudin.

Beth, our guide was fun, hilarious , and full of great stories and history about the city. Food choices were fabulous, the banana fosters ant the end I will be dreaming about for a long time! Highly recommend.

The best part of the tour was the food. The stops were just some of the tastiest food I've had in Nola. The next best part was the stop at the hot sauce shop. It was kind of unique for food tours but that is kinda why I like it as spice is important to understand the food culture here and I got to treat my pallet to some of the hottest sauces around. I would have liked in the tour some focus on drink culture, but overall it was very fun.
