"Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside." --Mark Twain
I am so excited to share with you my love of great food, inspiring local restaurants and amazing chefs who make our food world possible! A foodie at heart and home chef myself, my passion to start a tour like this stemmed from taking several food tours recently and realizing there was a need for something like this in Knoxville. My goal is to share with you the heart of the downtown Knoxville food culture and give these local talents a chance to express themselves through food and sharing it with people from around the world! --Lauren Quinn, owner and tour guide
Lauren has also been a regular volunteer at Young-Williams Animal Center throughout the week. Please, ADOPT, DON'T SHOP, and donate any extra time or funds you have to this great organization.
<<We took WBIR on a mini scavenger hunt with our sister business, Seek Knoxville, in October 2018! Check out more about this other fun activity we offer, and learn more about us and what we do!
