Edible Excursions, Berkeley

Edible Excursions' local food experts lead visitors on informative walking tours of some of the Bay Area's most coveted culinary sights, featured in Beyond the Plate. In addition to previously working for Gourmet magazine, founder Lisa Rogovin honed her palate during a seven-month excursion across five continents, skipping only Antarctica and Texas. However, her passion remains rooted in the diverse, locally grown offerings of San Francisco. She says, "There isn't a month in the year where the Bay Area isn't growing something fun and delicious to use in the kitchen."

Edible Excursions' many tours embrace this passion by leading visitors through farmers' markets and restaurant kitchens throughout San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Local chefs and gustatory artisans impart insight on their methods and inspirations along the way, while satiating tour-goers with signature samples of their culinary masterpieces.
