Inception of a Food Tour Business
A local food tour in Mobile, Alabama, originated from the inspiration of a friend’s experience in Savannah, Georgia. Chris Andrews recognized a gap in the market as mobile lacked a food tour, despite having a rich history and vibrant food scene. He felt compelled to create this opportunity, driven by his passion for local history and his desire to showcase Mobile's culinary offerings. This led to the establishment of a food tour business, tapping into a concept that had prospered in larger cities but was absent in his own town.
