What a super fun way to spend an afternoon with friends/family, while really learning about this charming, century-old community of immigrants & sample the the best of new chefs/entrepreneurs. This is my third tour with Jacquie and always full of learning, laughs, and insiders' viewpoint... come hungry and enjoy! Also, noted how all were very sensitive to allergies/issues and made easy accommodations seamlessly.

Thank you for your 5 star review Rhonda. I am so happy you had fun, laughs and learned new things on your 3rd food tour with me, xoxo. Being a chef, I make it a priority to ensure guests with food allergies on my tour have alternatives. I look forward to our next tour Rhonda, where shall we go? Cheers! Jacquie

Chef Jackie was amazing! She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and kind and really set an amazing tone for the evening from the very start. Everyone in the tour became more and more friendly as we ate together and it was a great way to meet new people while on vacation. We were taken to some top quality gems in the area and all of the food was delicious! We certainly ate more than our fill and would definitely come back and do it again the next time we are in Philadelphia!

A friend of mine mentioned the StrEATS of Philly food tour and how much she enjoyed it. I thought it would be a special way to celebrate my son’s 30th birthday, and it was! We met Chef Jacquie on a Thursday evening and started off with some history around the Italian Market. We stopped for a wine and cheese tasting at DiBruno’s Bottle Shop, cannoli tasting at Isgro’s and a delicious family style dinner at Paesano’s. It was so enjoyable with Chef Jacquie, who is very informative and fun! We finished the evening at Cucina Maria’s for dessert. The experience certainly exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it!
