On November 8th, 2013, a few friends of mine had the opportunity to experience Vegas Valley Food Tour/DTLV Food Tour. We seriously had a culinary food blast! We all agreed that it was one of the most amazing experiences we've ever had.
Being able to take a food tour and taste several eclectic food items have brought culture to this city and is definitely a culinary experience. We started our tour off at the Beef Jerky Store Downtown Fremont. One of my favorite food item's there, was the Tofu Jerky, I honestly could not believe that Tofu could taste that good. We also tasted dried okra. The okra tasted like potato chips without the potato, also very tasty. After the Beef Jerky Store,we headed over to Rachel's Kitchen.
I enjoyed the chicken salad and the traditional tomato basil with the penne pasta. You can tell that Rachel's Kitchen foods are made with fresh ingredients and are high quality. From Rachel's Kitchen we headed to Uncle Joe's Pizzeria.
The fried mozzarella ravioli tasted really good and wasn't greasy like most fried raviolis. Uncle Joe's Pepperoni Pizza, honestly was the best pizza I've ever had, again it was not greasy by any means. Being able to leave a personal mark by writing on the wall at Uncle Joe's was cool and fun. After Uncle Joe's we headed to Sweet Spot Candy Shop.
Sweet Spot Candy Shop honestly have the best candies in Downtown Las Vegas. Sweet Spot Candy will for sure take you down memory lane. I tried a few different candy's but the chocolate cover cherry was my favorite. With the many varieties, there are something sweet for everyone. If you are looking for a special gift that's sweet to give to someone special, Sweet Spot Candy Shop will definitely help you make it a special occasion. Last but not least, we headed over to an authentic Italian Restaurant called Chicago Joes.
As soon as you walk into Chicago Joes, you feel welcomed there. It's a very cozy restaurant that was once a house. We were able to speak with the owner and were given a brief history of Chicago Joes. The Spaghetti with meatball was very tasty and you can tell that bread was homemade, also very delicious.
Having the experience of the Vegas Valley Food Tour allowed us to experience Downtown Las Vegas in a totally different way. Everyone in my group agreed that we would all do it again. Vickie Wilson, the owner is amazing. She is knowledgeable and knew that this city was missing something and that something was The Vegas food Tour of Downtown Las Vegas.
