My Foodies group had a tour of the Temescal region with wonderful tastes of various cuisines. We loved Bowl'd, for Korean dishes including bibimbap (rice bowls with savory meats and fried egg on top), veggie pancakes, and a sweet tea made from barley and other grains. Next was Ethiopian food at Abesha, with lentil and split pea and other savory stews on a great spongy bread, injera. We headed to Bakesale Betty's for delicious mini fried chicken sandwiches with coleslaw - served al fresco on folding tables, aka ironing boards! Betty is known for her blue wig and scrumptious pies, cookies, etc. The final touch was ice cream at Curbside Creamery -- some flavors were made with cashew milk. Our group loved it.
Our tour leader, Rebecca, was thorough, excellent and knowledgeable, and our very nice Edible Excursions manager was Luisa.
