HOT SPOT
St. Louis Food Tours
Local walking food tour company Savor Saint Louis kicks off its sixth season next Friday, April 6. The three-hour, “easy-paced” tours—which take place either in the Central West End, the Delmar Loop, or downtown (the newest addition)—allow foodies to sample fare from local restaurants and hear about each stop’s history, culture, and architecture. “When my mother and I started Savor Saint Louis six years ago, we did so out of a love for this city and to showcase it and all of the wonderful food we have in this town,” co-owner Jennifer Schmid said in a release. Tours take place on Fridays and Saturdays at 11 a.m.
