food tour!!


i recently got to go up north to seattle to visit my friend jerrica, and seeing as we both LOVE food we decided to take a field trip and do a food tour in Pike's Place Market. we weren't really sure what to expect since both of us hadn't been on a food tour before, but i have to say it exceeded all of my expectations! our tour guide, i think his name was dave, he was very informative and knowledgeable about all the different vendors in the market as well as knowing a lot about the history of the market. for instance, most of the farmers who first participated in the market were of japanese decent, but when WWII occurred and all the japanese were put in camps other farmers took over and they never went back...kinda sad, but VERY interesting! on to the food...we tried a variety of different foods at the market from chukar cherry delights, to beecher's creamy mac n' cheese...yum yum yum!
 we even got to try piroshkys!!! a favorite of anthony bourdain!! the smoked salmon samples at the fish stand had to be one of my favorite though! the smokey salmon with the garlic and pepper was AMAZING!! i highly suggest that if you ever make it up to seattle to go on a food tour! they are both fun and delicious!!
