Best Food or Drink "tour" you've done

TulaneLSU's Poorboy Tour of New Orleans.

I used to love going to the Half Acre Beer brewery tour in Chicago. It was $10 for the tour, a branded pint glass, and three fills (although they often let you get more).

It's only offered at 11a on Saturdays and limited to 60 people, so you have to get there early and line up. I haven't gone in years, but it was always a great way to kick of a Saturday off day drinking

I did a self-guided boudin tour along 190 one day when the basin bridge was shut down. Stopped for boudin in Opelousas, Port Barre, Krotz Springs, and Port Allen to taste test a bunch of different links.

Had an awesome local food writer for a walking food tour of Dublin. Food was tasty, but guide was super interesting. He had 20+ years of info on the local food scene.

Maureen Fant, an archaeologist and food writer/translator based in Rome, does cooking classes in her apartment, with a view of the Collesseum, combined with shopping at the Testaccio market and neighboring shops. She’s an opinionated scholar first, so she can be almost rude/brusque to people who aren’t sufficiently serious....but if you get past that, she is a wealth of info.

Best ever, though, was a walking tour of San Francisco’s Chinatown with cookbook author/personality Shirley Fong Torres (sister of the semi famous music/rock journalist Ben Fong Torres). She knew everybody, it seemed, in the whole neighborhood, and it was right in the middle of lunar New Year celebrations. We visited a bakery, tea shop, supermarket, multiple restaurants, a temple, and a slew of other places, and ended with a Chinese lunch. RIP Ms Shirley, who was fun, gracious, and loved to eat.

ETA: second best was an eating/walking tour of the Lower East Side of Manhattan....it focused on the settlement/immigration history of the neighborhood, with themed food stops. Cant remember the tour company—but all of their guides are grad students in relevant fields of study.

I hit 9 breweries in New Orleans in the span of about 20 hours a couple years ago. 10 if you count the homebrew operation that was to become Zony Mash. Spent lots of money on beer and Ubers. Would do again too.

Cajun Food Tours with Marie or Jay. Even if you know the area, it’s great for taking visitors on the little orange bus. Food, history, jokes.

Club Tengo Hambre in Mexico City and Oaxaca.
9-1
Market tours, taco spots. Great way to learn the city

Wicked Weed in Asheville.
The comprehensive one that takes you by bus to multiple facilities.
Beer at each one. Beer on the bus.
