Food travel is one of the top reasons why people travel. It is after all the universal language that tells the story of the destination’s people and culture.

Food tours are hella popular right now, do you know how to spot a good one? Or you should be considering when selecting an off-the-beaten-path destination versus a major city? In this episode, celebrity chef Nina Gross tells stories of her experiencing traveling through food and how she has worked her way into many kitchens to learn how to make local dishes. She also shares her recommended culinary travel destinations that include places you wouldn’t normally consider. And we also talk about how to go from being a picky eater to an adventurer.

Chef Nina Gross recently launch Chew Your Health, an live online cooking school that will be traveling to 12 different countries through food. Through this program, you’ll get four plant-based recipes, live cooking classes, a shopping guide, a food journal, and membership to a community portal. Basically, it’s like you’re getting your food passport stamped each month. To sign up go to bit.ly/goroguewithfood
