The idea of a “grub crawl” has become a popular way to socialize with friends, explore new places, and sample local dishes. Our own adventure took us to six different venues, where we indulged in a variety of tasty treats. Some of the highlights included salmon and avocado sushi at Yamamori, crispy-roasted pork belly at Amy Austin, and an incredibly juicy burger from Dash Burger. Not to mention the delicious blackberry macaroons from Ladurée and a few liquid refreshments along the way.
Our final stop, Masa, was a hit with my peanut-loving friend, who devoured the zesty chicken tacos and nutty salsa macha sauce. The grub crawl concept is simple: instead of a pub crawl, you hop from restaurant to café to food truck sample something small at each place. It has the essence of a food tour, but with a more relaxed vibe. There’s no agenda or guide, just follow your taste buds. And you can do it anywhere with a cluster of eateries within proximity.
My own introduction to the world of grub crawling happened by accident earlier this year. I had a long list of places to try in Dublin, and rather than choose just one, I suggested we try a little something from each spot. Three hours and several delicious dishes later, I knew I had found a new passion. It’s no wonder that food has become a top priority for many travelers, providing golden opportunities to experience new tastes and cultures.
The proliferation of food and travel shows, festivals, casual dining, and al fresco eating during the pandemic have fired up our passion for culinary adventure, all accelerated by social media. However, it can be an overwhelming experience trying to discover the best food destinations while exploring unfamiliar streets. This is where personal research comes in, relying on traditional tips, social media shoutouts, chatting with locals, and joining food tours for an insider’s view.
But nothing beats a good old-fashioned grub crawl with a friend, limiting your order to one dish, and exploring multiple venues, leaving behind a trail of satisfied taste buds. So next time you’re looking for a new adventure, why not try a grub crawl in your own city or on vacation? You never know what tasty surprises await you.
