My wife and I have lived both in the city of Atlanta and the surrounding metro area for the past 15 years. We thought we had seen most of what the city, until we met John for a food tour. John walks you through the history of Atlanta while taking you to some of the best restaurants she has to offer. I had never been on a food tour, and typically prefer pizza and beer on the couch. My wife insisted and I obliged. I was thoroughly impressed and had a great time! John's tour was so good that we're going back to one of the restaurants tonight!

N. - First, Thanks for the review!! Often my "locals" can be my most challenging guests...during the first 15 minutes! Then..."I didn't know that!"...and "I've never been to this restaurant! I didn't even know it was here!" Plus, of course...If you wife insists, you should go! Just sayin"... A Peachtree Food Tour is truly an afternoon well spent! Trust N. !! My best to you both! John

I took this food tour in November with 5 friends celebrating 30 years since we graduated from college together in Canada. I've lived in the Atlanta area for 13 years but didn't know much about Midtown. Not anymore! John was a great food tour guide and told us a lot about the history of the area. I took the second tour with my husband and friends because I loved the first one so much! Both tours were great but different mainly because of the people on the tour. I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the city for the first time or are a long time resident of the Atlanta area. You will not be disappointed!

Thank You, L.!! "You will not be disappointed!" Wow! High praise from a guest that has been on my Tour...twice!! L. has a great point! Each Food Tour has its own energy and it's my job to get everyone connected. I truly want you to enjoy my neighborhood...and each other! Come take a Tour and see how I make that all work! My best to you...always! John (The video you all were in is coming soon! Going "viral" is certainly next. Ha!!)

I'll break this review down into 3 parts: 1. The Guide 2. The Food 3. The Tour 1. The Guide- John was our guide. He greeted us in the parking lot and learned our names (12 of us) without having to ask them again. He accurately referred to all of us by name the whole day. He was funny, knowledgeable and easy to relate with. John was funny but not over-the-top annoying funny. One of the things I liked most about John was that he is a true Atlantan, so he had both factual knowledge and experience knowledge far beyond just the food. John made the tour. 2. The Food- First off there was plenty of food, but not too much. The walking of the streets and the time between stops was perfect. I also enjoyed the variety of the food that we got. We had an incredible, and I mean incredible burger. Before eating it, John gave us recommendations on how to eat it to enjoy it the best, but he also provided us with knowledge and history surrounding the burger and the neighborhood in which the restaurant was located. The burger was insane. After leaving stop number one, we moved on to a cool local restaurant where we enjoyed a southern classic of peanuts and Coke (with a little bourbon). This was a good stop, but probably my least favorite of the tour. We has a small kale salad- it was good. It was a cool part of town. After this we walked a good bit, learned more about our city from rules around auctioning old buildings, to future growth, to history behind the Margaret Mitchell house. We landed at Einsteins, and Atlanta classic. This is where we enjoyed the most wonderful drink, a Mississippi Mule. We were served elegant southern classics here to eat. We had a fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits. After this delicious stop, we walked more, learned more and landed at Cafe Intermezzo where we had coffee (just when we needed it), an elegant setting and a HUGE piece of whatever cake/pie/torte/dessert our hearts could desire. At this point, we were full, but he wasn't done. The grand finale which was probably my favorite stop was in a cool pastry market where we were able to select two pastries for later. The choices ranged from sweet treats like chocolate peanut butter donuts, to unique choices like bacon maple donuts to savory Asian classics like chicken curry buns or bacon seaweed cheese roll ups. I chose to two latter. :) These treats were individually wrapped for us to bring home and enjoy later. This was a great treat for my jealous husband who just went to regular work today. 3. The tour- Overall, the tour was great. We walked a lot, learned a lot, and laughed a lot. We learned about the current status of the area as well as the history of the area. I am definitely more inclined to leave my suburban town and head into Atlanta now that I have more insight on the places to go. Overall, this was a great experience and I would do it again with out of town guests for sure!

M. - Great review! Thanks! Just enough info to tease a TA reader, especially the piece about the "insane" burger! Yep! 80% of my guests have never been on a Food Tour...and after the burger, I have everyone's attention. OMG! What's next! Again, during the Tour the most common remark from my locals is always, "I didn't know that!" Or, "I had no idea that there was a restaurant down that side street!" So...M. Don't be a stranger to my little bit of heaven. I'm just a quick email away! And now you know where to park free!! My best to you...and your Team!! John Note to TA reader : M. was on a custom, corporate team-building adventure that didn't quite duplicate my Classic Tour. It was actually a bit abbreviated to allow time for some White Elephant gift fun!! Yep! There was a lot of laughter!!
