Los Angeles is recognized as one of the foodie capitals of the world, and with the overwhelming number of delicious eats available -- how do you know where to go?
For those seeking a little guidance or perhaps seeking specific types of ethnic foods only, Six Taste Food Tours is your answer. They offer a number of highly regarded food tours through specialty parts of Los Angeles, including Little Tokyo, New Chinatown, Thai Town, and even a specialized Dumpling Tour in Arcadia!
Foodies and friends Jeff Okita and Alex Tao are the hip young founders who brought Six Taste to life just over a year ago. They primarily specialize in some of the Asian food genres available in the culinary melting pot that is Los Angeles. They attended USC together and after a discussion over coffee one afternoon, the plan for Six Taste began to emerge. Ironically, neither Jeff nor Alex are Los Angeles natives, but they are very well-versed and dialed in to the LA food scene.
Jeff and Alex have a simple goal for Six Taste -- open the Los Angeles culinary scene to everyone and break down any preconceptions about the various neighborhoods. Their first tour started in Little Tokyo August 2009 and they have seen significant growth in this last year, receiving quite a bit of local media attention as well.
If you want to try some delicious eats off the beaten path, Six Taste is your answer. Interested foodies looking for something more location oriented will also find Six Taste offers Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and Santa Monica food tours as well.
For more information on their available tours, please see the Six Taste website. If you have taken any of their tours, please share your experiences in the comments section below.
