Food tours, Philadelphia

Anyone have experience with doing a food tour in Philadelphia? I did one in NYC with friends and it was great. The same company offers one in Phil. but it doesn%26#39;t have the same glowing reviews. The Reading terminal market has something www.readingterminalmarket.org/events/tours/ Anyone try this?

I%26#39;ve done many, but only a few in Philly and not that one..





My personal favorites are Joe Poon%26#39;s Wok and Walk tours of Chinatown. Joe is a great guy, very funny and an excellent chef!

I%26#39;ve gone to his tour twice and several of his classes.







One caveat, Chef is getting a little older, and I have heard occasionally he has to turn the tour over to his assistant. Still have yet to hear a bad review tho.

Thanks so much for your suggestion. My daughter is living in China right now and I have to confess to a fascination for all things Chinese. Not sure if my friends feel the same way so am open to any other ideas, but that one sounds great!




I should point out the food he cooks is great as well!





Some clips of Joe from various shows:

One note: The restaurant featured in the clip is not around anymore. His landlord was a jerk...
