How sweet it is! And salty and sour and spicy. America is a great place to eat, and each region has its specialties. So if you're traveling the nation, why not take a food-tasting tour? The trend is catching on for boomer singles and couples alike.
So what's it all about? Dining out and enjoying local fare has always been a part of taking in the sights and sounds around a city. But food-tasting tours have introduced daytime and evening events, typically about three hours long, which offer eating alongside local edification.
It's a taste of local everything that goes way beyond the meal. By the time the afternoon and twilight hours wind down, your stomach and soul are content. That is, until the next city and its food-tasting tour.
Guidelines to get the most out of your tour:
- Sign up early since space is limited and food-tasting tours are growing more popular by the day.
- Wear comfortable clothes.
- Taste everything.
- Ask lots of questions.
- Savor each mouthful keeping in mind it's probably not your last.
