Culinary tourism is an import aspect of any travel experience. Food has the ability to tell you a story of a destination, its landscapes, and culture on a single plate. Most food guides tell you how to eat like a tourist. Although there is nothing wrong with that, as part of the Eat Like a Local series, this book will give you a food guide from someone who has lived at your next culinary destination.

In this audiobook, you will discover advice on having a unique edible experience. This book will not tell you exact addresses or hours but instead will give you excitement and knowledge of food and drinks from a local that you may not find in other travel food guides.

Eat like a local. Slow down, stay in one place, and get to know the food, people, and culture. By the time you finish this book, you will be eager and prepared to travel to your next culinary destination.

Our story

Traveling has always been a passion of the creator of the Eat Like a Local book series. During Lisa's travels in Malta, instead of tasting what the city offered, she ate at a large fast-food chain. However, she realized that her traveling experience would have been more fulfilling if she had experienced the best of local cuisines. Most would agree that food is one of the most important aspects of a culture.

Through her travels, Lisa learned how much locals had to share with tourists, especially about food. Lisa created the Eat Like a Local book series to help connect people with locals which she discovered is a topic that locals are very passionate about sharing. So please join me and: Eat, drink, and explore like a local.

Just Google It

As someone who lived 2/3 of my life in the area, I was interested to see how many things aligned with my opinions, or if there's some I've never heard of (there were a couple).

There's some basic town descriptions at the start of the book. Additionally, I appreciate the use of the full name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It was fun to hear store names like Smith's and Harmons. Liked the ode to fry sauce. Liked hearing restaurants, like Chuck-a-rama, Arctic Circle, Leatherbys and my very favorite: Settebellos.

However, I felt like it was a lot was based in Draper side of the valley rather than the West Valley and Magna areas. But, culturally, guess that's normal. Where was the mention of Ab's Drive In?

I'm not sure if I was a tourist if I'd be very pleased with this giving me options. Seems Googling would be better.
