Rick has clearly mastered the art of the food tour, blending his background in education with an infectious passion for Ogden's colorful history. Guests consistently rave about his storytelling abilities and the "little nuggets" of historical facts he shares while walking through 25th Street. The intimate group sizes (eight or fewer) create a personal experience that feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than a typical tour. Multiple reviewers mention returning for additional tours or planning to bring visitors, which speaks volumes. The food itself gets high marks across the board, with stops at locally-owned, community-focused restaurants that many guests hadn't tried before. You'll get plenty to eat and drink (including excellent mocktails), and the variety introduces you to hidden gems you'll want to revisit. What sets this apart is how Rick weaves together the restaurant stories with Ogden's fascinating past, bringing the architecture and landmarks to life. Even longtime Ogden residents report seeing their city with fresh eyes and discovering aspects of 25th Street they'd overlooked for years.
