JUST DO IT!

| This is our 2nd Melting Pot tour - did the Farmers Market/3rd Street one about a month ago and loved them both! Lisa and Diane do a fantastic job as hosts and guides providing architectural history of the surroundings as well as fun tidbits about the establishments we visited. It's also a plus to meet the store/restaurant owners and get to hear it all in their own words. The tastings are nicely paced - savory, savory sweet - throughout the 3 hour tour. They take you into these pockets of Los Angeles and introduce you to places and flavors you may not otherwise frequent or experience. Now they just need one for the west side or Chinatown or evenings . . . ah, the possibilities. | ||||||

| We thoroughly enjoyed the Old Pasadena Tour. Who knew that all those charming shops and restaurants were hidden in Old Town? As residents of Southern California for many, many years, who attend the Pasadena Playhouse, and have been to the Rose Parade, we still were surprised and delighted to discover these interesting places, and hear some of the history of Pasadena. I would recommend this tour - especially to anyone who loves to eat. | ||||||

| Our visit to the Farmer's Market and 3rd Street in Los Angeles, guided by Trish from Melting Pot Food Tours, was a great way to spend a few hours. We learned about the history of the Market and got to taste some wonderful samples of everything from doughnuts to cheese to olives to peanut butter. Then we walked down the fun 3rd Street, and sampled some more (tea, bundt cakes, Japanese food), learning along the way. The vendors were very generous with their time, telling the stories of how they came into their businesses. The highlight was probably our tour guide Trish who was knowledgeable, personable and very accessible. I'd recommend this as a fun activity for both those from the L.A. area and outsiders. | ||||||

A great find, even for "locals."

| This tour ran smoothly and efficiently and provided even more than was promised. Each of the restaurants visited was expecting our group and welcomed us enthusiastically. The food portions were generous, considering this was a "tasting." The food selected for us at each restaurant was delicious, and most dishes were a specialty or signature dish of the chef. The order of the restaurants that we visited was well planned and while walking between restaurants, our guide provided interesting information and anecdotes about the area. It was apparent that our guide put a great deal of thought, planning and attention to detail into this tour. Out of town tourists and "locals" are sure to learn something new and have new taste experiences. It was well worth the price. | ||||||

| This was the only tour we reserved ahead of time and we're so glad we did. Our tour guide Diane's personal relationship with a lot of the owners of the places we visited added a dimension hard to describe or replicate. A very enjoyable morning well worth the money and we highly recommended this tour. | ||||||

| Diane did a terrific job with the tour. It was very intimate with another couple, we all interacted remarkably well. I would suggest this tour to anyone either visiting or living in LA. That it would be a guaranteed fabulous experience mixing food, an expert tour guide, who was very knowlegeable re the area, the shops and she had a real insight into food preparation. | ||||||

| We learned a lot throught the personal interaction of the merchants Diane introduced us to----about the source of the produce, how it is best-prepared at home. Lots of time for questions and sampling. As a local, I was shown "insider" info I'd never seen. We also enjoyed a stroll down 3rd. Street to sample/learn from some of the excellent restaurants. Truly fun, entertaining, and educational! I'll bring my out-of town guests on this tour! | ||||||
