Side Dish Mafia Food Tours







David's food tour is the best one you'll take in this city. It is clear how much planning has gone into this tour -- all of the vendors know David and had our food ready as soon as we walked up to the door. We got way more food than I expected and the tour took us into the Chinese Tea Gardens which are a must-see for Portland. It is absolutely worth the price. I took this tour with my elderly grandparents and picky younger sister and it was both accessible to all and catered to everyone's tastes. Even as a Portlander, I got to try new favorites. We went home very full and even had some leftovers. I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends!
David's tour is thoughtfully designed, not just with the mix of food choices but also the pace - it moved from standing to sitting, and ended with a light walk to a spot with a restroom meeting my needs before I realized I had them. David is a great storyteller, weaving urban history, culinary insight, and personal history seamlessly; his love of his hometown of Portland is a salt bringing extra flavour out of every dish. I was the only person on my tour and was afraid it'd be awkward. It was not. The whole experience made me feel right at home. Highly recommend!
