Bienville Bites Food Tour has once again claimed a top spot among the nation's most famous foodie experiences.
"This recognition also belongs to our incredible restaurants, the chefs, the stories and the city that make our tour what it is."
For the fifth consecutive year, the guided restaurant experience earned a place in USA Today's 10 Best Food Tours in the U.S. for 2026, placing #7. Bienville Bites was nominated for the readers' choice award by a panel of experts because the tour excels at offering a variety of dishes to sample and at teaching about the ingredients, traditions and stories behind them.
"To be included on a list like this alongside some of the most well-known food tours in the country is incredibly meaningful, but what makes it even more special is getting to represent Mobile, Alabama on that stage," said owner and operator, Chris Andrews. Andrews and his wife, Laney, founded the business in Mobile in 2017. He added, "This recognition also belongs to our incredible restaurants, the chefs, the stories and the city that make our tour what it is."
