Six tastings and four immigrant food cultures collide on one walk through São Paulo's most surprising neighborhood, Liberdade. This tour starts at the steps of the cathedral where the city was founded, then walks straight into that layered history through 6 tastings you won't find on a typical itinerary. Bite into a towering mortadella sandwich stacked with peppery cured meat, a working class classic paired with a soda made from a native Amazonian fruit. Follow it with a soft egg bun filled with rich custard, then glossy Korean fried chicken glazed to stay crisp. Somewhere along the way, a Secret Food Tours guide leads you to a Secret Dish tucked inside a hallway of food stalls, revealed only once you're standing in front of it.
