Melting Pot Food Tour announces the launch of Pasadena’s first and only walking taste tour featuring a diverse array of culinary treasures. Running every Saturday and Sunday, the new summer three hour walking tour illuminates the ethnic eateries of Old Pasadena aspiring to place the City of Roses on the map as a noteworthy culinary destination in its own right. Lisa and Diane Scalia, co-founders of Melting Pot Food Tours entertain with historic and colorful stories of Pasadena’s intriguing past while guests visit spectacular ethnic eateries where they will indulge in multiple tastings of world cuisines.
“The new Melting Pot Food Tour of Old Pasadena is so much more than expected! Lisa and Diane’s skillful story telling bring the region’s history to life while guests enjoy some of our best kept culinary secrets! It’s a great way to discover Pasadena’s hidden charms while sampling some great food,” comments Nan Marchand Beauvois, Executive Director, Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau (PCVB).
The tour explores the streets of Green, Union, Holly, DeLacey, the avenues of Fair Oaks and Raymond, and Colorado Boulevard in historic Old Pasadena. Colorful alleys and secret thru-ways are revealed as guests visit award-winning ethnic eateries and sweets havens for tastings. Guests will indulge in multiple tastings of world cuisine including Tortas Mexico, Bar Celona (Spanish), Aux Delices Bakery and Café (French), Equator (Asian Fusion), Bird Pick Tea & Herb, Tutti Gelati (authentic gelato), Mezbaan Indian Cuisine, Tibet Nepal House (Himalayan), and Mignon Chocolate (exquisite chocolatier).

The fascinating stories behind the foods and this historic district that was once only a sunny land of orange groves are guaranteed to entertain and delight,” says Diane Scalia, Tour Maestra.
