Highly Recommended Food Tour - We have been on a few food tours in different cities and this was one of the best. Kristin gave us excellent history of the 100 year old Municipal Market Place. The food was delicious and the history behind what we ate was interesting. I loved making the biscuits and can’t wait to make them when I get home. We ate them at our hotel later and they were still delicious.
Thank you Kristin for a great tour and cooking class. I highly recommend this tour.

Fun Tour at the Historic Market- PG-friendly and engaging - Joy's enthusiasm and friendliness was contagious and her knowledge of the history made this tour so much fun! Joy engaged her audience, explained information in a fun, interesting way, multi-tasking throughout the tour and also was a wonderful host. The food was great, the biscuit class was fun. I would do this tour again!

Education & eating! - Javier did a super job educating us on the evolution of the market and bread and having food to complement the information.
Baking our own buttermilk biscuits was fun-and delicious!
