Frequently Asked Questions

About the Food

What exactly is the 1920s Big Bash?

This is a totally different way to throw a corporate party. This thematic experience combines the best of Atlanta history, culture, and food. It’s made by historians and foodies, which makes an event that your team will be talking about for months. This is not just an ordinary happy hour.

Why is this experience 3 hours?

The standard time is for 3 hours, but if you want the party to go longer, we can customize that for you!

Do you offer vegetarian options?

Yes, there are plenty of vegetarian tastings.

Do you offer gluten-free options?

Yes, there are plenty of gluten-free tastings. Please be advised that we cannot guarantee cross contamination with gluten in most of the kitchens.

What are the menu items? (Spoilers!)

Generally, our tastings include the following (subject to change):

  • Jikssa Ethiopian: Gomen and injera bread

Does this Atlanta food tour include an urban food hall?

Yes! The 1920s Big Bash takes place completely indoors in the Sweet Auburn/Municipal Market, Atlanta’s oldest urban food hall and market.

How much food is on an Atlanta food tour?

Unlimited tastings! This will be enough for dinner.

Can I change the food options during the Atlanta food tours?

All food is pre-ordered so you may not change options during the tour.

I have a severe food allergy.

Please let us know about severe food allergies.  Our guides also carry Benadryl but do not carry epi-pens.

What type of history is included on the food tours of Atlanta?

The 1920s Big Bash covers the history of prohibition in Atlanta, plus the history of the Curb Market and Auburn Avenue and how it relates to Atlanta’s legacy as the home of the Civil Rights movement.

Is the cooking class messy?

Not at all! There’s a bit of flour and butter to handle, but most guests find that no flour ends up on their clothing, and it’s easy to brush off. If you are concerned, we have aprons available for guests.

I am interested in the Civil Rights Movement. Is that on this tour?

We mention the Civil Rights Movement at a few of the trivia stops, but, if you want to learn about Martin Luther King Jr. or the Civil Rights Movement, we recommend our King Historic District Tour. You could also do the King Tour before or after the 1920s themed Big Bash as part of your conference offerings.

How close is the Atlanta food tour to other attractions?

The Municipal Market is very close to many downtown attractions and is along the Atlanta Streetcar Route. It is an easy trip on the Streetcar to the World of Coke, Georgia Aquarium, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Eastside Beltline Trail, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park.

I am interested in a private tour or experience for a corporate event.

Wonderful!  You’re in the right place.  Contact us here.

Are the Atlanta food tours wheelchair accessible?

The tour is wheelchair accessible. Before you join the tour, please let us know that you will be bringing a wheelchair.

Will the food tours of Atlanta run in the rain?

Aboslutely! This tour is held completely indoors.
