I was really happy with this tour. We have lived near Richmond for 14 years and I had never been to any of these restaurants and might not even have gone in to them if I wasn't on this tour. It was really hard to pick out my favorite. I liked each one of them "the Best". I was given the tour as a Christmas gift from my daughter. It was really special because we really don't want any more "stuff" to dust or take care of, besides,we travel "a Lot". and it was great finding really good food in my own back yard. In the future, I want to do this with friends and I plan to go to different parts of the City. Good Luck in the future.

Rachel gave us a wonderful food tour of the Arts District where we ate at 6 different restaurants. Crab tacos at Wong Gonzalez, deviled egg and half bbq sandwich at Greenleaf Pool Hall, pimento cheese Mac n cheese, brisket and cornbread at Fatty Smoke’s, catfish, collard greens and Mac n cheese at Mama J’s served by Mama J herself, baked feta and toast with pistachio ice cream at Salita’s. Learned a lot about the history of the area and about the restaurants themselves. Highly recommend.
