Our son gave us gift certificates to the Peachtree Food Tour for Christmas and we had waited until a promise of good weather to make use of them. We were two of a total group of five taking this tour with the other three being ladies visiting from out of town. John provided an interesting mix of information about food/restaurants, local history and general points of interest. He had stories and information about the beautiful St Marks Methodist Church, the Margret Mitchell house, old mansions that used to line Peachtree Street, and numerous other topics.
Of course, the tour revolved around food and we had plenty of that, and in several different styles and forms. From burger and fries ( Cypress Pint & Plate), to Shrimp and Grits (Einsteins), Bruschetta (Princi Italia), a choice of deserts (Café Intermezzo) and ending with a “surprise” that I won’t spoil by naming here. Each course was accompanied by a matching beverage and we enjoyed excellent service by the wait staff and management at every stop.
All in all, it was an excellent way to spend a day while eating entirely too much delightful food.
Well done John!

Hi Mike! I am still grinning about your comment re: Bonaire! Nope! It does not seem to have a Food Tour! And you're the man that could certainly fix that! Plus you two have been there so many times that you could probably claim to be locals!! And...I just might fly down there with you guys and serve as an advisor...FREE!
The truth be told, over the past 2 1/2 years, I have had at least 6 of my guests engage me in serious conversation about starting a Food Tour in their cities! If you think going on a foodie adventure like mine is great fun, you ought to be the guide!! I have the best job...ever!!!
TA readers: Please know that at least 80% of my guests have never been on a Food Tour! Really!! But I'll bet you that they all will be scheduling a Food Tour where ever it is that they travel next. Be travel smart! Taste! Sip! Learn!
Thank you, Mike, for taking a few moments to share with all those TA readers out there!
My best to you both! John
