Get ready to eat like a local on this comedian-led hidden gems food tour — a flavorful downtown adventure packed with laughs, unexpected finds, and some of the city’s best under-the-radar bites. This isn’t your average food tour. It’s a curated experience for people who want to skip the tourist traps and discover the spots locals obsess over.
Guests will kick things off with tacos from one of the best taco spots in town before heading to a tucked-away fried chicken restaurant known for crispy, crave-worthy comfort food that most visitors would walk right past. From there, the tour continues with delicious pizza at a beloved local favorite, all while your comedian guide shares stories, jokes, city history, and fun facts that turn the evening into equal parts comedy show and culinary adventure.
The tour wraps up with a crowd favorite: authentic Turkish ice cream, complete with the playful tricks and theatrical serving style that make it just as entertaining as it is delicious.

The food tour in Santa Barbara is eclectic and there are so many great places on State St! The "hidden gems" were fun and so was the guide, Sam.
