Our Story

From food blogs to food tours.

Bethia Woolf and Andy Dehus founded Columbus Food Adventures in 2010 to share the incredible stories behind Columbus's diverse food scene. The seeds had been planted years earlier through their food-writing projects, including tacotruckscolumbus.com, alt.eats.columbus.com, and hungrywoolf.com, where they reviewed and discovered restaurants throughout the region.

The company launched in 2010 with three initial tours. It has since expanded to 10 unique tour experiences, foodie scavenger hunts, and custom tours.

Our Approach

Columbus Food Adventures is a boutique operation that values creating treasured experiences for every person we work with. We appreciate established institutions like The Refectory and Pistacia Vera every bit as much as the smaller venues such as taco trucks and mom-and-pop eateries that make Columbus' food scene what it is.

Our goal is to help visitors and residents appreciate the richness and diversity of our local food scene, one tour at a time.

The Founders

Bethia & Andy

Bethia and Andy started writing about Columbus restaurants long before food tours were a thing here. Three of their early projects, tacotruckscolumbus.com, alt.eats.columbus.com, and hungrywoolf.com, became the proving ground for what would become Columbus Food Adventures.

They still lead tours personally and remain hands-on with every restaurant relationship and every route. The company's tone, judgment, and standards come straight from them.

What We Stand For

A Few Things That Don't Change

Independent Restaurants

Our tours focus on independent and local restaurants. Established institutions and small mom-and-pop eateries both have a place on our routes.

One Meal's Worth of Food

Every public tour provides enough delicious food to replace one meal. Generous tastings, not samples.

Knowledgeable Local Guides

Our guides have a wealth of local culinary and historic knowledge. They're not reading from a script.

Boutique by Design

We cap every tour at a size where you can hear your guide and chat with the chef. Small groups, deep conversations.

Rain or Shine

Tours run rain or shine. We only cancel for severe weather that threatens guest safety, which is rare.

Columbus First

We're a Columbus company. Our team is local. Our restaurants are local. The whole point is making this city look as good as it tastes.
