Must do, Top BBQ Food tour! - Must do, Top BBQ Food tour! Codi was our guide and she did an amazing job! She works for the magazine and is super knowledgeable, professional and down to earth. This tour costs more than others, but that’s for a good reason! Other tours didn’t offer the best stops or the portion sizes that this one does. Hands down this worth it! I shared pictures of everything we ate, minus the delicious sour dough chocolate chip cookie at the end! Codi had to go boxes ready for us and a cooler to keep them in. We ended up taking home more food than we could in person. Highly recommend.

Locals Know! - Such a fun experience! Codi was super informative and entertaining, the perfect host! At each stop, we got to try what the spot is known for and perhaps something that sets them apart. It was a great experience and worth every penny saving you from waiting in line at all these amazing stops!
