Our standard Food Tours brings together an area's culture, history, architecture, as well as its local food and drink.

Our market tours provide and insiders look at the West Side Market, the iconic Cleveland market serving the city for over 120 years. Market Tours feature stops at various stalls to meet vendors, learn their stories, and taste their specialties.

A Dine Around is a more formal and customizable version of our standard Food Tour. It offers a 5-6 course progressive meal served at two or three critically acclaimed restaurants.

Dine Arounds will typically offer lengthier stops at each establishment, allowing time for guests to enjoy multiple courses and network with associates.

Dine Arounds can be completely customized to accommodate nearly any budget, from low-cost to VIP. Specialized beer, wine, cocktail parents can be added at different restaurants and establishments to help complement the dishes. Receptions can be added either before or after the Dine Around based on the needs of the client.

Our Culinary Challenge events are a series of friendly, yet competitive team building activities that can be run in nearly any venue throughout Cleveland.

Regardless of the particular event, whether it is inspired by 'Top Chef', 'Chopped' or anything in between, the goal of a Culinary Challenge is to foster innovation, embrace creativity, and build bonds teamwork in a competitive, yet fun environment.

For example, during the 'Iron Chef' inspired Culinary Challenge, teams will choose ingredients, spices, and herbs in order to compliment the secret ingredient that everyone must use and create a dish and story to present to a panel of judges.

In addition, catered meals, cocktails, open bars, and receptions can be added to compliment the competition with food and drink.
