Columbus Food Adventures

Had a fantastic experience this morning/ early afternoon on the Short North food tour with our guide, Ash. We started the day at Hot Chicken Takeover in the North Market with the General Manager telling us the history of not only the restaurant but the building. Ash added some interesting insight as well when she gave her introduction to the tour.There was only 5 of us total and we did not know the other people in the tour but we had so much fun that we all bonded and parted as friends after. I had been on another of these tours and the group was just too big so I loved the smaller group this time. Ash also encouraged conversations and kept us engaged throughout the day.Every stop that we went to was introduced to us and gave history that I did not know even being a Columbus native. I love how curated the tour was and how smooth it ran.My favorite by far was the Woodhouse Vegan which I've walked past but never been in. You could not tell at all that the food in there was all vegan and I'm just amazed by the quality and dedication from the owners. Ash also made the tour so memorable and personal for all of us. I will definitely be back for another tour.

My Husband & I loved our Columbus Food Adventure. We went on the Alt Eats Tour. All the food was delicious. Our belly's were full by the end of the tour. We definitely recommend this tour and we look forward to our next Food Adventure.

This has been one of my absolute favorite things I've found in Columbus. There's a variety of tours you can do that bring you to restaurants and potentially parts of town, you're unfamiliar with. Each tour is different and comes with a bit of history of the area, restaurants, and the owners of said restaurants. Along with that, you also get to try food/drink from each stop. All the tours have always left me super full, with some having me take a to go box to pack up some leftovers. If you're new to town or want to explore your own backyard, I'd recommend looking into a tour!

I cannot say enough positive about this group. My partner and I have done 4 of these and each tour includes more delicious food than you can imagine. Andy, the owner, is a wealth of knowledge regarding the culinary scene in central Ohio and is super friendly and excited about introducing others to local establishments. The taco truck and alt eats tours are at the top of the class. They also have tours in popular areas such as Grandview, Short North, Dublin, and more. Seriously, don't miss out on expanding your palate and meeting cool people right in your backyard!

This review is for the "Trust Fall" dinner for two. I was really excited to have this culinary experience. I am always happy to support small, ethnic businesses and try something new for my tastebuds. The execution was great and the concept is cool. You sign up for delivery (or pick up) of a "surprise" dinner for two, and you cannot choose anything or indicate any food preferences. What you get is what you get. Unfortunately for me, the food on this particular evening was from a restaurant I had been to previously, and not had a good experience. The portions were surprisingly small and 60% of the meal seemed to just be white rice. The entrees were barely enough food to feed two really hungry adults at dinner. Naan bread was dry and flavorless. No risk, no reward. It fell flat for me, but I would definitely give it another try in the future and hopefully have a better experience.

WOW! Our Columbus Food Tour was the height of a trip we had planned pre-covid and finally could take! From our tour guide, Logan and his knowledge of German Village, AMAZING personality and quick thinking to help protect and get us out of the rain (yay for garbage bag ponchos and the comfy Ford Transit that took us to our next stops during the worst of the rain storm) to the delicious food and hospitality of the restaurants it couldn't be more perfect! If you don't book yourself a Columbus Food Tour you truly can't say you enjoyed the Columbus foo scene and rich history! PS. Tip your tour guides and restaurants. It's not required and they don't ask, but they deserve it!

I LOVE the Trust Fall program that CFA has been offering! During this weird, weird pandemic filled times CFA's Trust Fall is a hint of light in seeming food darkness. Having only been into one restaurant for dine in service since mid-March the Trust Fall offerings help quench my thirst to 'not eat at home'. Thank you Columbus Food Adventures for this wonderful adaptation/deviation from your in person food tours! I can't wait to keep eating my way though CBus, safely from my home, until it's safer to dine in.I am so glad I found this wonderful 'surprise' meal to my doorstep! (I know my wife's become a HUGE fan too, as I was able to convince her to do two meals last week!) Last week we had a meal from a new Egyptian street food place here in CBus (Koshary King). I would highly recommend checking this vegan/vegetarian food truck out! The Koshary, a mix of chickpeas, lentils, pasta, fried onions, and tomato sauce topped with a lemon vinegar sauce was unlike anything I've experienced. It left me wanting more! The semolina cake, basboosa was something that I would love to make myself. Deliciously sweet and wonferfully textured. As someone who is not the biggest fan of eggplant, I was blown away by the baba ganouj and mesaka! We were also fortunate enough to get one of the Dewali meals for this past Saturday. The full course meal was from Tandoori Grill and it was an absolute delight! It featured papadum, kachori, aloo gobi, mattar paneer, lamb quorma, and three desserts (malai burfi, motichoor ladoo, and kaju katli)! The lamb quorma was an absolute surprise treat as I normally am not a fan of most lamb as I find it too gamey and not cooked in a way that balances that gaminess with other flavors. The yogurt tomato stew perfectly complemented the lamb in this quorma. Tandoor Grill even included candles to be lit for Diwali, a thoughtful touch.Previously we've had Trust Fall meals from: Kabob Shack in Hilliard. Which was a beautiful Afghan Korma and Ash, a traditional yogurt, noodle, and chickpea soup. Estillo Brazil (main was beautiful creamy polenta with sausage and kale), Yau's Chinese Bistro (jeje chicken hot pot), Tulip Cafe (Turkish: a wonderful egg noodle soup paired with a fluffy & cheesey Turkish bagel). I appreciate the videos of what the meal is and where it's from, that are received to the booking email about an hour before the chosen delivery window. It means that I can watch it or be 100% surprised when the meal arrives! If you are looking for a way to break the mundane of take out during this pandemic, do yourself a favor and book a trust fall dinner! It's very cost effective when you consider what you used to spend for sit down service or if you add in the delivery fees from what ever delivery platform you're using to get food delivered anyway!

We had a really enjoyable family day out in the German Village with Logan and the rest of the tour group. We learned tons about the neighborhood/history/architecture that we never would have known through a casual stop on our own. Food stops alternated between sweet and savory and all nice-size portions! Good tennis shoes were a smart idea for navigating the historic brick sidewalks more easily.

When I was in Columbus for work last year, I stayed the weekend and very much enjoyed the German Village Food Tour. I swore that if I ever came back , I would bring my mom and do the tour again. Last month, I had another work conference in Columbus, and my mom and I extended our trip several days just so we could catch the Saturday German Village Food Tour. I loved it just as much the 2nd time! Logan is funny, interesting, delightful, and gives a great overview of the history of Columbus. I do food tours everywhere I travel, and this is one of the best because of Logan's extensive knowledge and the amazing food! Go hungry because the food portions are generous and absolutely delicious.

Just enjoyed the Alt Eats tour - simply wonderful. Brazilian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Yemeni and Latino. Not one stop disappointed! Andy, our host, provides great information about each cuisine and place we visited, which is always so interesting. My brother recommended this tour to me and I am so glad I went! Went with some great folks and we had a fabulous time. It was EXCELLENT. Trying to figure out the next one (I've also enjoyed their Taco Truck tour and Old Worthington) - leaning toward the dessert tour or the all meats! Thank you, CFA, for finding all of these gems!
