Attempting to recreate those fantastic green beans from Girl & The Goat in Chicago. Stay tuned for the outcome …

Last week was abuzz with three wonderful groups - all at Pearl. We dodged rain (it won for a few minutes but no one melted), explored history and ate heartily at Ladino, Best Quality Daughter and Mezquite at Pullman Market. The hospitality at each can’t be beat!

Fiesta San Antonio is always pure magic. No matter the weather, it’s bright colors and never a dull moment. If you haven’t visited San Antonio during the 10 days of Fiesta please come and let us share our rich heritage with you. I won’t serve you chicken on a stick during one of my tours, but there’s no shortage of it anywhere else!

The new pastry chef at Supper at Hotel Emma, Mark Metzger, blew everyone away today with platters of wow. This group of 15 from the Michigan Farm Bureau joined me for lunch, and both Best Quality Daughter and Supper made me proud of my city. Great food, warm hospitality and genuine friendliness ruled the day. Thank you all!

On the eve of my 10th year in business, I’m changing up my offerings for culinary tours of San Antonio. I’ll be focusing on groups of 10 or more and providing only fully customized private tours for fewer than that. Requests for unique tours for corporate and conference groups have increased while the individual 2- and 4-person requests have reduced. And with a huge change and price increase in the booking platform I’ve been using all these years (FareHarbor), the timing is right.

Thank you to the innumerable individuals, couples, families and friends who have joined me on these fun adventures since 2015. Let’s do it again - but with more people!

My goal has always been to shine a light on local, independent, chef-driven restaurants and it continues to be what guides my agendas. Our city is rich with creative culinary talent and I intend to always support them with my tours and my personal dollars. I hope you will too.

Here’s a shot from my most recent large-group tour (AAA Travel) which included a tour of Mission San Jose followed by a tamalada led by Steven Pizzini of Lala’s Gorditas. It was so much fun I forgot to take pictures of the food!

It’s always shimmering at Pearl this time of year. Enjoy it with friends! These three were in town for the R&R races and stayed to enjoy a Food Chick Tour. Fun!
