Our guide Kristen was wonderful. We do food tours quite a bit and she was one of the best. I live in Atlanta but it was nice to hear history as we walked through one of my favorite places, Oakland cemetery. Food was good. I think a little less food at Six Feet Under and one additional stop would have made it perfect. Six Feet Under was an entire meal in itself.

I'm glad you enjoyed your food tour! Oakland Cemetery is also one of my favorite places and Kristen loves to share its history. Thank you for your review. Six Feet Under's portions are definitely large.

We went on the "Grant Park Past & Future Food Walk" with our guide Arielle, who was exuberant, friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the Grant Park neighborhood and Oakland Cemetery. We started at the Six Feet Under Grant Park restaurant for 2 dishes. After we went on a walk around Oakland cemetery, including viewing Margaret Mitchell’s and Kenny Rogers' graves. Then onto Firepit Pizza Tavern for 2 more food items before ending up at The Little Tart Bakeshop for a very chocolatey chocolate chip cookie and half an apple turnover (all the food we ate was good) and the end of the tour.
