Philadelphia Food Tours with Chef Jacquie

Philadelphia Food Tour Experiences Led by a True Local

What makes StrEATS of Philly Food Tours different starts with Chef Jacquie herself.

Born and raised in South Philly, Jacquie didn’t just study these neighborhoods — she grew up in them. She knows the families behind the storefronts, the history of each block, and the stories that shape Philadelphia’s food culture because she’s lived them.

On every food tour, Jacquie blends generous food tastings with rich storytelling about immigration, family-owned businesses, and how neighborhoods evolve through food. Local vendors greet her by name, shop owners welcome her like family, and that genuine community connection naturally extends to every guest who joins the tour.

What could feel like a simple walk becomes something much more — an experience filled with laughter, meaningful conversation, unforgettable bites, and a deeper understanding of the city through the people who feed it.

That personal, rooted approach is what defines StrEATS of Philly — and why guests consistently say they don’t just leave full, they leave feeling connected to the community itself.

Chef Jacquie was superb! Her stories and tales of Philly foods made this tour extra special! We are Philly people and have been to the city many, many times but today we visited places we didn’t know existed and they were wonderful and the food was exceptional! You won’t leave hungry that’s for sure! My family had a great tour! Highly suggest Chef Jacquie’s tour!! You won’t be disappointed!

We had an amazing tour with Chef Jacquie! She was delightful, knowledgeable, and very kind. We ate so much delicious food and learned the history of the market and about the eateries and shops we stopped at. It was a hit for our tweens and adults and I highly recommend.
