What you'll do

Howdy, y'all! On our Secret Food Tour: Dallas, you'll experience true Southern hospitality and discover why our cuisine has always been a culinary melting pot of different cultures. Our guides will lead you through the art and music-filled streets that make up the foodie paradise that is Deep Ellum and you'll sample our famous BBQ brisket, award-winning Texas chilli, buttery handmade biscuits, and lots more. And don't forget our delicious Secret Dish, which can only be described as "downright addicting!"

 

Quality drinks will be served at some stops, however if you would like more, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available.

SEE ITINERARY

We'll begin on Main Street in the heart of a former warehouse district turned funky nightlife, restaurant, and shopping area.
First up, you'll dig into some "cowboy style" BBQ, served with all the fixin's.
Next, you'll savor a cup of spicy chilli con carne from one of Deep Ellum’s oldest restaurants
On our walk, we'll explore some of the murals and signs that have made Deep Ellum a mecca for all things urban art.
Are you ready for a flavor explosion? At our next stop, our delicious Secret Dish is sure to put a little South in your mouth.
We'll round things out by taking a trip down memory lane as you rediscover retro sodas and take a look at candies from the good old days.
And finally, it's pie o'clock somewhere as Dallas' favorite dessert meets a beloved Southern liquor - bourbon!

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
