Check out the Night Move and Taste-full Tours in Metromix!

Culinary road trips for your eating, drinking and learning delight.

Listen up folks. We have a very awesome announcement to make. The Night Move is pairing up with a company called Taste-full Tours to lead what they term, “Culinary Road Trips.” If you haven’t heard about these, prepare yourself to get excited. They’re bus tours (on the world’s greatest biodiesel-run shuttle bus, of course) run by culinary professionals. Sign up on the Upcoming Tours page of their website to check out some chefs’ little secrets — off-the-beaten-path bakeries, homemade chocolate shops, local brewpubs and authentic international markets. You’ll get to rub elbows with shop owners, taste their specialties, and best of all, learn something. (And since the more you know, the more you grow, this is pretty much the greatest opportunity ever.)
