Yummy food and great Memphis history! - We enjoyed sampling some of Beale Streets best food- burgers, wings, gumbo, bbq and fudge! In between the tasting we learned all about Beale Street, some Memphis history, and background on the different restaurants. Bonis was getting tips on how to slow cook our bbq at home. Taylor was fantastic!

Exploring Historic Beale St and best places to eat. - Our Tour guide, Taylor was very informative, witty and engaging. She is a certified judge in the Memphis in May BBQ Competition. Don’t eat before the tour! Every place was different flavors and all were delicious.

Highly Recommend - This is way more than a food tour. Our guide Taylor talked about the history of Beale Street and even took us to some unique bars that weren’t even part of the tour. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the food as well - from prep to process to outcome!
