Hi everyone! As you can probably tell we took a LONG break from this blog! With the pandemic and having a baby, dating sometimes gets put to the back burner… But with a bright new year ahead, we are wanting to get back to it! Our posts will now include date ideas for the whole family, as well as fun activities you can do from your own home.
The letter F can be so FUN! We decided to play tourists in our own backyard and sign up a food tour in the farm to fork capitol, Sacramento. After this date we actually decided to make it a tradition at any new city we visit. A food tour takes you to all the best local restaurants that are frequented by the locals and gives you a glance of some new local flavors.
We selected the popular Farm to Table Midtown Tour where we explored beautiful Midtown while learning about the farm to fork movement and tasted different cuisines of some of the top local chefs. We stopped at 5 different restaurants which I’ve heard vary depending on the day. I absolutely fell in love with our drunken noodle stop at Thai Basil. Our guide also took us back to the exact dive bar spot where my hubby and I first met, The Golden Bear. Who knew they have amazing food (try their Your My Boy Bleu pizza) there and not just drinks! The tour started with coffee at the famous Temple Coffee and ended at Rick’s Dessert Dinner.
Along the way, our foodie guide shared local history stories and taught us about Midtown’s rich arts scene! Besides the food, seeing the beautiful murals and art along our walk was our highlight. It also helped us digest all the food we were stuffing our faces with too. There are so many tours to choose from, so select the one that works best for you and your families dietary needs or schedules! I actually took my foodie girlfriend on a food tour when she came to visit and it was the perfect way to introduce her to all the best parts of Sacramento. And to be honest, you can always make your own food tour up by looking up on Yelp or asking friends the best dishes to try at their favorite restaurants. Make sure you come hungry and wear your stretchy pants!
Other cities we highly recommend food tours at are: Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Santa Fe, and Nashville.
