    Phyllis has clearly mastered the art of bringing Chicago's diverse neighborhoods to life through food. Reviewers consistently praise her deep knowledge of local history, culture, and migration patterns, which she weaves seamlessly into every stop. The tours explore areas like Uptown, Andersonville, and Lincoln Square, featuring everything from Vietnamese and Middle Eastern to Swedish cuisine. What stands out is how well-organized everything is—dishes are pre-arranged and waiting at each restaurant, keeping the pace smooth and enjoyable. The food itself gets rave reviews across the board, with many travelers saying they planned to return to the featured restaurants on their own. Phyllis seems to have a genuine connection with the neighborhood spots and their owners, sharing personal stories that make each tasting more meaningful. Multiple people called this a highlight of their Chicago trip, and even a fellow food tour operator ranked it among their top three experiences. Her warm, engaging personality helps create easy conversation and makes the whole experience feel less like a scripted tour and more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend.

    We did the Global Foods of Uptown tour. It was an amazing tour. Great food and interesting history. Phyllis is a fun guide who is passionate about the food and cultures. We totally plan to do more tours and go back and explore the neighborhood.
