5.00This is an excellent food tour...most of the tastings exceeded our expectations! And we never would have found some of the stops without the help of our outstanding tour guide Ronnie! He is a true guide! Not only did he explain the food...but he provided the history behind the creation and told you about the Chef and the historical changes to the establishment and the neighborhood! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
