If there's anything we all have in common, it's that we like to eat. Many of us think food is the best way to learn about a city and a culture, while others find consuming delicious things just pleasurable. While on vacation, we can all follow guidebooks— but often, it takes a local to show you where the best spots are hidden. That's why we recommend you head out on a food tour the next time you visit Sarasota.
