I used to be in the military, and have been on food tours in other countries and a few stateside whenever I would travel for work and for fun. Good easy way to see things and get some great eats.
Now I am ÔretiredÕ, and figured a beautiful fall day is the ideal time for a food tour in my own town. Cant believe I waited so long! Oh well, now its time to let everyone know about this great secret.
Now I love good food and try to be as adventurous as my wife allows, so a conversation about what Maryland food is led us to a Fells Point Food Tour on a beautiful day with old and now some new friends. I sure am glad I made that choice!
First of all we called the office instead of booked online accidentally. Really great staff. Molly I think was very nice and helpful, she direted us to this third party ticketing site (which is kind of strange, I should be writing this on tripadvisor or something!) and I even learned bout the awesome private culinary events they do! Hello company holiday party! Definitely doing one of the iron chef challenges for that.
Our guide was energetic, and great with stories about the area, and some cool history. I love buildings and she even gave us the rundown on building styles from the old stuff to today!
The food Ð five stops was value enough for the price if she just walked us from place to place saying nothing. But it was fantastic. Local joints, all varied in so many ways, and all connecting with the city and neighborhood. Yes my friends, it was plentiful, flavorful, satisfying, and more. Making me hungry thinking about it!
But it was great as well. some awesome pit beef and fries (hungry andy I think), polish and European dumplings and pancakes my grandmother would be proud of. A nice selection of seafood at a local type joint, and fried pb and j with a white Russian the dude on the big lebowski would be proud to enjoy! (for those of you who have not seen that movie, its great)
Anyways, I couldnÕt be more pleased, and look forward to doing their other tours soon. If they are anything like this one, I will be a happy and full man! |
