My wife, 8 and 13-year-old daughters, and I all love food so we decided to take the Atlanta Southern Food Tour. For the food tour itself, we met up at the first stop Pascual’s where we feasted on fried chicken, candied yams, corn meal, and delicious gravy. Apparently, Martin Luther King Jr has eaten this same fried chicken and organized for action here. Our knowledgeable guide, Joy, did a wonderful job of explaining the background of the food, surroundings on our walk, and background of the restaurants themselves so that we felt very informed on our food. The next stop was a tasty barbecue restaurant where the four of us filled ourselves with pulled pork, pork belly, Brunswick stew, mac ‘n’ cheese, and collard greens. While we stuffed ourselves, Joy informed us with very interesting information that simultaneously kept us entertained. After a 40 minute walk, we arrived at a very healthy stop where we snacked on juices and kale chips while listening to Joy tell us about the history of the restaurant and it’s relation to Atlanta. We ended up purchasing some “cheesy” kale chips for later, which were very good and contained no dairy. Our last stop was the Curb Market that held our last four restaurants to be sampling from. Joy showed her appreciation for the meat pies we were sampling by purchasing some for herself for later. We liked knowing that she took us to places she enjoyed herself. The South African meat pie was amazingly tasty. Next was Georgia peach tea, which was very refreshing after the hot savory meat pie. Our penultimate restaurant was banana pudding, Northern beans, and pancake-like corn bread. After devouring every last crumb, we headed on to dessert: popcorn and pralines from New Orleans. Afterwards, we rode the $1 streetcar to get back to our car at the first stop. Although our tour took place 11 to 2, we didn’t need any dinner. I would recommend that if you are coming during the cold of winter, that you layer up so that you are warm during the brisk walks, but are able to strip off some layers in the heated restaurants. Joy provided us hand warmers, which helped us cope with the cold during our walk. We also felt that the 2 mile trail provided a good distance to digest between each of our stops. Everyone was entertained and full! In the end, we had a really good time eating our way through Atlanta in a period of three hours. Good customer service, good information, and good food! What’s not to love? If we ever come back to Atlanta, I would love to enjoy this experience again, maybe on a different food tour.
