Supremely honored to win USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice 2024 Award as one of the TOP 10 FOOD TOURS IN THE UNITED STATES!!! Congratulations also to my fellow winners!!
I first fell in love with giving tours in 2001, in Rome. It’s amazing to be here, back home in New Orleans, sharing that same love 25 years later. It is such a privilege to share these special moments with people on their vacations. It is such an honor when they choose us to spend their money and time with. Thank you to everyone who’s been on a tour with us, and here’s to 25 more years! 🥂
Such a lovely day strolling through Jackson Square on our daily New Orleans Food History Tour! These three all graduated from undergrad studies together, and this was their first big reunion! #foodtour #neworleans #doctorgumbo
The lads of Cambridge, UK washing down their FIRST Po-boy and their FIRST Boudin ball with their FIRST Hurricane cocktail, all within 30 minutes after their FIRST bowl of Gumbo! A proud father and his two sons, who were treating him to the birthday trip of a lifetime to visit a city he’s been obsessed with for decades: NEW ORLEANS! #doctorgumbo #food #history #tour #foodtourism
Yesterday’s tour felt less like a history lesson and more like a rolling lunch party with footnotes. 🥖✨
We had an absolutely stellar crew of fun-loving, flavor-chasing legends who came ready to eat, laugh, and time-travel through every bite. From the first story to the last crumb, this group showed up hungry for the why behind the food, not just the what.
We talked origins. We debated spice levels like philosophers. We toasted to the cooks and characters who built this city’s culinary backbone. Somewhere between the second stop and “just one more bite,” strangers turned into a table full of friends.
Food history hits different when you experience it together. It’s not just recipes. It’s migration, celebration, survival, and a little bit of joyful indulgence wrapped in parchment paper.
To yesterday’s crew: y’all brought the energy, the curiosity, and the elastic waistbands. Thank you, ladies and gents! 🍽️🔥
If you’ve been thinking about joining a tour, consider this your sign. Come hungry. Leave enlightened.
