The best food tour in Hobart : Spend a day with Gourmania Food Tours

• Food and Tasmania

Spend more than a few minutes in Tasmania and you will quickly realise that it’s all about the fresh produce.   The origin of many chefs, tv shows and books, Tasmania has a strong reputation for providing high quality fresh produce that is farmed or produced locally.  Seafood is a specialty but you’ll also find amazing cheese, honey, fruit and vegetables, meat, beer and whiskey.

On a recent visit to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, I really wanted to understand more about the area’s food.  But with such variety, where would I start?  Hobart is awash with great restaurants, cafes and markets.  With only a few days here, I wanted to make sure I saw some of the best.

The best food tour in Hobart – Spend a day with Gourmania Food Tours

Farm gate markets, tasmania’s finest seafood, eating wallaby, mt gnomon farm, coffee break at ecru, wurst hauss – a gourmet delight, jackman and mcross – a beautiful bakery and patisserie, why choosing gourmania food tours is a great idea, coming soon, tips before you go.

Enter Mary McNeill and Gourmania Food Tours .  Mary, a sixth-generation Hobartian, has been eating her way around Tasmania (and the world) for many years.  As a former pastry chef and a well-known identity on the Hobart food scene, I couldn’t think of anyone better to show us around.

Now in its sixth year, Gourmania Food Tours offers the travelling foodie a variety of options ranging from a self-guided tour obtained through a downloadable PDF through to more tailored and specific bespoke tours.  But more on those later.

Our tour started with a visit to the Pigeon Whole Bakery.  This bakery in Argyle Street was an addition to an existing cafe of the same name.  In a building where old printing presses once churned out the local Hobart newspaper, shiny bakery equipment now has pride of place.   A modern fitout now provides visual access through to the bakery from the front of the shop.

I stand staring at the perfectly formed croissants and pain au chocolat, and I instantly wish I didn’t have breakfast.  Never mind, I’m sure I’ll find room somewhere.  I’m a sucker for french pastry and this bakery has a beautiful range of sweet treats, all perfectly formed and willing us to buy them.

The sourdough doughnut catches our attention. Made in a typical sourdough way using a wheat starter and filled with creamy dulce de leche, it was soft and delicious, and it becomes abundantly clear why they are so popular here.

Next, Mary heads up hill to the Farm Gate Markets, a Sunday tradition that sees locals flood Bathurst St to stock up on their farm goodies for the week.

Local producers line the street here, selling their finest from 8.30am until 1pm each Sunday. A dedicated eating area with nine vendors now whips up their culinary masterpieces, that are both tasty and easy to prepare for the hungry crowds. It’s a great way to test out some of the local foods, and the perfect addition to an already successful market. I can just imagine everyone huddling around steaming plates of food to warm up, as the temperatures start to head south.

Mary’s tours aren’t just about visiting the best food establishments.  With a fine attention to detail, she carefully selects opportunities to introduce you to a new type of food.  Yes, you can spend all day eating on these tours.

Our first taste test takes us to Wild Thyme Kitchen, where coconut pancakes are being whipped up feverishly and plopped onto the hot plate. But it’s the new menu addition of corn cakes that is what Mary has brought us here for. Served with crispy pancetta and maple syrup, the two fluffy corn cakes are a meal in themselves. But, it wouldn’t be Tasmania without showcasing some seafood with five fresh scallops encircling the plate. This market dish just took on a whole new level of fancy.

“I didn’t realise that would be so large”, said Mary with a grin, as she headed off in the direction of Pacha Mama. Before I knew it, she was back, this time with a wallaby burrito. Yes you read that right, wallaby! I’ve eaten kangaroo before, and to be honest, am not a fan, but the wallaby surprised me. Here at Pacha Mama, the food philosophy is simple. There is no farming of wallaby. Certain parts of Tasmania are overpopulated with these animals and are legally culled. It’s a sustainable food production process that sees the wild animals used for food, rather than be buried and wasted. Pacha Mama slow cooks around 60kg of wallaby every week.

We’d seen the oyster farmer the day before at the Salamanca Markets, so it wasn’t a surprise when we saw a crowd of people lining up to buy these fresh salty molluscs, harvested about 12 hours previously. As Mary proudly stated that the most oysters she had eaten was 57 in a row, several of the finest were being prepared for our benefit. Oysters aren’t my thing, so my husband happily lined up, ably assisted by Mary. Farmed from Bruny Island in the south, I’m told the briny taste balances out the creaminess of the (very large) oyster, making it incredibly tasty.

Thinking that Tasmania would be awash with butter manufacturers, I was stunned to learn how few butter manufacturers there are here.  As a small producer, it is difficult to source milk, with a significant proportion of it exported each year.  We stopped to talk to Olivia from Tasmanian Butter Co and marvel at the simple pleasure of fresh creamy butter slathered on a piece of fresh bread.

After years of experimenting and testing, Olivia now manufactures about 80kg of fresh butter every week.  40kg makes its way to restaurants and 40kg is sold at local markets.

This isn’t just any old ordinary butter.  Each batch takes days, with a fermentation period lasting anywhere between 18 and 24 hours, all done at low temperatures.  This is the most important part of the process as it is here that the flavours are developed. Added cultures create lactic acid which in turn develops  the flavour and keeps the bad bacteria out.  Once the churning process separates the buttermilk from the butter, it is hand molded, given a healthy dose of Tasman Sea Salt and packaged ready for sale.

An apple mightn’t seem that exciting, but when you are talking directly to the farmer who grows them, there’s a better connection than just piling some into a plastic bag at your local grocery store, not knowing if they were picked 12 months ago and frozen or even where they came from. Here at the markets, we talked to the farmer and had to make the very difficult decision of choosing what variety we’d like to try. With many on offer, I chose one that I had never heard of and munched my way around the market until we came to the honey producer.

Here I become engrossed in a conversation with the owner of Mt Gnomon Farm.  He’s got some fantastic pork products on display here, including a really tasty chorizo made from his own recipe. It’s his business model that’s got me most interested today. As the largest producer of free range Wessex Saddleback pigs in Tasmania, he’s already got a lot going on. But, rather than rely solely on pig production, it’s a great example of diversification, value adding and in my mind, developing longevity for the business. With a varied range of activities occurring on the farm, it’s ready to ride out any change in the physical or commercial landscape. The farm regularly runs and participates in food festivals with pop-up meals happening in the on-site restaurant.

You don’t have to go too far in Tasmania to find good honey and this market was no exception. Here we learnt about the various types of honey on sale and the process and temperatures which cause it to turn from a runny consistency to candied honey. As the honey crystallises, the flavour profile also changes.

Just around the corner from the Farm Gate Markets is bustling coffee shop Ecru.  At peak hour, those who can’t possibly continue through the day without their shot of caffeine wait patiently on the street.

We were treated to a special display of barista art as our hot drinks were delivered.

A walk through town away from the markets and we find ourselves on the outside of Wurst Haus.  I’m immediately faced with fantastic memories of eating wonderful sausages of all kinds in Germany.  But it’s not all it seems.  Indeed the sausage is integral to this fine store, having been established in the mid 80’s by two men who wanted to make good quality snags. One step inside however reveals a veritable treasure trove of gourmet goodies.  Cheese (another Tasmanian speciality), small goods, beautifully farmed pork, beef and lamb and enough sauces, pickles, vinegars and crackers to make any charcuterie board a standout.

I’m fascinated most of all with the black garlic.  Slow roasted, it’s soft and mellow to the point where I can’t believe it’s actually garlic.  With a faint hint of a good balsamic vinegar, it becomes an absolute delight when paired with cheese.  So much so, that some of it made it’s way into my suitcase!

Mary packs a lot into these tours, enabling us to see a variety of food places.  Walking out of the CBD and towards Battery Point for our last stop of the day, I reflect on how this is so much more than just a food tour.  Walking through one of the oldest areas in Hobart, it’s a trip into yesteryear, and a chance to observe and take in the beauty of the carefully preserved cottages.

Small Georgian cottages, built side by side line the streets, interspersed with more elaborate mansions.  Each of them have their own place in history and it’s wonderful to see the importance of this area now covered by heritage legislation.

Along the way, we talked to Mary about the areas we were walking through, always happy to soak up as much of the local knowledge as possible.  This is another bonus of Mary being a local.

Jackman and McCross, a thriving cafe, operating out of one of these heritage protected cottages was the final destination.  The brainchild of Chris Jackman and Nerida and Justin McRoss, this combined bakery and cafe was the first of its kind in Hobart when it opened in 1998.  Now owned just by the McRoss’, all breads and pastries are produced on site.  They are obviously doing something right as the place was pumping, with all tables filled and a line to the door buying takeaway product.

This time, Mary had chosen a sweet treat for us.  A small, shortcrust pastry tart, filled with the smoothest of crème pâtissière and a fresh fig sitting aloft.  It quite possibly didn’t need the extra quenelle of fresh cream sitting alongside, but oh well, we’ve got to walk back to our hotel, right ?

I knew we covered a lot of ground on our tour, and I knew we’d eaten and sampled a lot.  I was still, however in shock at exactly how much we did consume when I reviewed my photos from the day.  This isn’t an ordinary food tour.  This is one that sees you involved in it from the get-go, eating and sometimes drinking your way around one of Australia’s prettiest cities.  One of the benefits of having Mary as your tour guide is the degree of personalisation that can be applied to the tours.

Starting with a city tour, which remains one of the most popular, Mary branched out into tapas, market tours and those involving eating and drinking at restaurants.

During this time, Mary discovered a formula that works well, but is ever evolving, ensuring that the needs of her customers are taken into account.

To that end, Mary’s tours can be broadly categorised as “self-directed adventure” or the more personalised, bespoke variety.

The self directed tours allow visitors to the city to go at their own pace, wandering the streets of Hobart, getting lost (actually that’s not really possible in this small city), but making sure they never miss out on all the great places.

Instead of arriving in a new town and wondering where the best eating spots might be, or forever searching on Google, only to find everyone’s latest opinion on Trip Advisor or Yelp is conflicting, Mary has it all taken care of for you.

With PDF tours and maps that you can buy online and download, the stress is instantly removed.

The bespoke tours are the ones that appeal to me.  I’m not a fan of big tours, where I have to wait for other people to arrive, or come back from a break.  Or, where I have to drive, or catch public transport to locations that are far from my hotel.  I love the attention that comes from a small group, allowing me to learn more and engage with the experience more fully.  If I only have a short amount of time to spend on the tour, I want it to be time well spent.

If this type of arrangement is more your style, all that is required is a conversation with Mary about the types of things you are interested in, the time you have available, dates, time of day etc.  It’s the perfect scenario in my opinion as you can work with an expert to develop a unique and interesting event.

Gourmania Food Tours has several new tours in the pipeline. The ‘Pastry Pilgrimage’, with recommendations of the best places to eat is underway, as is the “Culinary flight”, a night of progressive dining, where your canapes and bubbles are consumed in one restaurant, your main in another, followed by dessert elsewhere. No doubt a nightcap will feature prominently too. Being pre-paid and organised, all you will need to do is get the list of where you need to go, sit down and enjoy the evening.

• Easy to get around, you can walk everywhere.  It’s a good idea to wear good walking shoes.
• Remember it’s Hobart and the weather can be changeable. Check what is best to take with you depending on the season.
• Take a market bag and a thermal market bag to carry any of the goodies you wish to buy. We had a normal bag but forgot one for cold food. Not having this meant we couldn’t stock up on cheeses and that beautiful butter.
• Have a light breakfast.  There’s so much to eat and taste along the way.
• Get in early to avoid disappointment or to allow Mary time to create your special experience.
• It’s a good idea to mention if you have any dietary issues,

True on every level Gareth, it was amazing.

Thanks so much, sure you would love it here if you love food.

Uffff I would be happy with all that cheese, let alone the wallaby burrito & oysters! All the food looks awesome, sounds like a great tour!!

Yeah it was hard to get my boy out of there :) The doughnut was his choice.

That looks like an amazing experience one should have when in Tasmania! I’m really keen on fresh produce and places like Tasmania seem to be having plenty of it!

I’ve never been one for food tours, but this one looks divine! We are hopefully going to Tasmania next year and I will definitely check this tour out now. Great write up and awesome pictures!

WHOA! This has my mouth watering. Amazing photography! And I love how complete the tour was in terms of meals too. Any tour that starts at a bakery is great in my book…AND it included cheese!!! I love that they had a sourdough donut. Who knew those existed? I love it!

I don’t know if I would have got any further than the bakery Kerri. Those pastries and doughnuts look amazing. It’s great to see food tours becoming such a market in travel these days. We have done few overseas but not in Australia yet

Thanks so very much Melody! And yes, we can definitely eat the wallabies here :)

Great in Melbourne but in a different way. Fancier, more experiential and arty….this is all about the produce.

e food is becoming increasingly the reason to go Sianna !

What a great place to hang your shingle Meg ! Hope you love it there.

pleasure Nancy and yes it’s definitely the way to go

Glad I could help with the deciding factor Carolin :)

You have just given me one more reason for finally ticking Hobart off my bucket list, thanks for sharing!!

It is just about breakfast time and this post has increased my appetite. I particularly loved those cakes and pastries. Slurrrppp… I am unashamedly drooling. :) :) We missed going to Tasmania when we were living in Sydney. Hope thgere is a next time.

omg are u kidding me? i just got hungry after reading this post! amazing photos as well. i love food tours and i try to do one everytime i travel. That wallaby burrito looks so goood! I definitely want to try it!

Mary McNeill and her Gourmania Food Tours sounds like the best way to learn about the food scene in Hobart. The pastries look delicious – I wish I could read into my MacBook and sample a few :). Awesome post – thanks for sharing.

I can’t believe we’ve still never been on a food tour! We are seriously thinking about adding Tasmania on to our Australian travels later this year, and I love how they really focus on the fresh produce fir their food! Thanks for sharing but now you’ve made me very hungry!

Tasmania’s fresh produce is the best in Australia, and Hobart’s food scene is becoming more and more renowned :) Gourmania Food Tours sounds great – will definitely look them up, we’re moving to Tassie next month – can’t wait!

Looks like a great day with a ton of fantastic food! I always love food tours–they are such a great way to learn about a place and sample local food. Everything you had looks amazing, especially the pastries! Yum!!

Thanks Vibeke. Shame you didn’t get to go but it’s hard to go everywhere isn’t it. It certainly was a great tour.

Um, yum! I am all about a food tour and this one looks awesome. Your food pictures are great, and they have definitely made me hungry. I have never been to Tasmania but you have sold me on the food, especially with it being fresh. Although all of the food you ate looks good, I would definitely want to try Jackman and McRoss’.

I have seen a lot of photos of the beautiful nature of Tasmania but never heard anything about the food. Everything in your food tour looks absolutely delicious! The fig tarts looks especially mouthwatering! I would definitely love to join a food tour not only in Tasmania.

This post made me so hungry, xD This looks glorious. I would love to do a food tour and really treat yourself with amazing food. I lived in Australia for three years and never made it to Tasmania because I was on a student budget. I would love to go back and then I will visit Tasmania for sure. I will definitely remember your recommendations here. I want to go on a food tour right away after seeing this . It looks so amazing :D

OMG!!! How good is the food in Melbourne though? I really loved the cafe culture there. All I did was eat…

Oooohhh! Hobart seems to offer all sorts of delicious foods from pastries to seafoods to coffee. I love all your photos. It makes me want to grab the food from my screen. :-)

Food tours have become my new favourite thing to do in a new city and this one looks amazing. Can’t say I’ll be in Tasmania any time soon but would def want to check this out when I finally make it to that part of the world

What a fabulous food tour! I loved the photos but wallaby…I had no idea that was “edible”. That dessert with the fig on top was my favorite. This is a really in depth tour. Your write up did it much justice and your photography is freaking fab!

Tasmania is on the top three of my bucket list, mainly for hiking! Before reading your post I would probably had skipped Hobart but now that I know all that I know I think I will block the last 2-3 days to enjoy its food scene (and I won’t have breakfast before the food tour!)

Food tours are such an amazing way to get a “taste” for a local community. My stomach is literally growling after reading this post. I, too, am a sucker for French pastries, and tehse look amazing, nt to mention the seafood, fruit, and more!

Wow, this looks like much more than just a food tour and certainly surpasses anything I’ve ever been on. The Corn cakes with pancetta and scallops look absolutely incredible while there really isn’t anything as good as fresh oysters. I’ve had a few friends visit Hobart and they have agreed that it is one of the most underrated foodie paradises

Ok, this post has made me hungry. I love the fact Australia has such a vibrant foodie scene. I’m visiting Oz in December and Hobart and Tasmania is now firmly on the wish list.

Tassie & Hobart, in particular, was such a surprise with all the great eateries and viviv fresh produce. Love the seafood there and Salamanca Market. This is a quality post. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

I’m a big foodie and sampling the good local stuff always figures high on my list of priorities while traveling. Till now we have always been experimenting on our own, but would love to go on a food tour! Great post here.

Thanks so much Rob, so glad you’re able to share in these memories also.

You’d love this then Kaylene, so much variety.

I have sadly never been on a food tour, but really want to soon! Wurst Haus would be top on my list; the meat and cheese look delicious! But everything else does too haha. Looks like a great place for a food tour!

Oh my soo much food and it all looks good, especially those corn cakes! I would love to have it with some grilled veggies yumm. What a wonderful way to really taste and experience the best foods!

Sourdough donut! Ahhhh! My dream combo ;) Sourdough bread is my fave bread and donuts are my fave sweet treat. I just downed one here in Thailand for the first time in like 6 months.Crazy I went so long without. What a fast LOL.

it was pretty tasty Deborah

sure was Jeanette

Sounds like the perfect tour for the foodies of this world.

Mmmm, pastries with fresh figs and creme topping, divine!

About Bruny Island Tours

About bruny island.

Bruny Island, a 362-square-kilometre island located off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, is one of the most beautiful and pristine locations in Australia. Roughly 100 kilometres in length, the Island is tied together by a narrow strip of land called The Neck. Access is via a twenty minute car-ferry chug from the mainland of Tasmania Kettering to North Bruny.

Bruny Island is famous for beautifully preserved natural environments with world class beaches, national parks, stunning cliff top views and abundant wildlife matched with the finest local produce. If you have a taste for the freshest of oysters, incredible cheese and premium quality wine then you will not be disappointed. The Island is also home to plenty of unique wildlife such as the White Wallaby, penguins, fur seals, dolphins and whales off the coast.

Exploring and immersing yourself in nature. Climbing to the top of the sand hummock and looking out across the Neck, bushwalking around South Bruny National Park and Lighthouse, surfing at Cloudy Bay Beach, and observing seabirds in the shallows of Daniels Bay at Lunawanna.

Make sure you bring your camera, book a multi-day trip and make the most of an incredible place.

Attractions

The Neck This narrow stretch of land joining North and South Bruny is one of the most scenic points on the entire island. Park in the small car park and take a quick hike up the staircase to Truganini Lookout, you will be rewarded with spectacular 360-degree views. The beach on the eastern side of The Neck is home to penguins. ​

Cape Bruny Lighthouse The Cape Bruny Lighthouse is located on the southernmost point of the island. It is a very scenic drive to get here, taking approximately 45 minutes from The Neck. The Bruny Island Lighthouse was first lit in 1838 and is the second oldest lighthouse in Australia. Windswept coastlines, wild birds, rolling hills, and wide beaches…this is a beautiful spot that is definitely worth visiting.

South Bruny National Park South Bruny National Park encompasses most of the southern island of Bruny Island. The national park includes the Cape Bruny Lighthouse, Cloudy Bay, Adventure Bay, Fluted Cape, and more. Adventure Bay and Jetty Beach provide safe, sheltered areas for swimming, while Cloudy Bay is a popular spot for experienced surfers. One of the best places to spot whales is at Adventure Bay during June to October. There are numerous walking trails just waiting to be explored. From the short stroll to the remains of an old whaling station at Grass Point, to a two hour walk to visit Fluted Cape, where you will have views out to the Tasman Peninsula and the coastal cliffs on Bruny Island.

Getting Around

You’ll need your own wheels to get around on Bruny – there is no scheduled public transport & no car hire on the island. Bring your car with you on The Bruny Island Ferry, The Mirambeena, departing daily from Kettering, a 30-minute drive from Hobart. Follow the Bruny Island Main Road from the ferry terminal.

Bruny Island is approximately 100 km from one end to the other. It will take about 40 minutes to drive between the ferry and Adventure Bay or Allonah at the north of the South Island. Then another half an hour or so from there down to Cape Bruny.

Please note that much of Bruny Island is gravel road. The advisory speed limit drops to 45 km/h on many parts of the main road between dusk and dawn - due to the danger of hitting wildlife. There are no facilities provided on the narrow shoulders for cyclists.

Bruny Island Weather

For many people, the best time to visit Bruny Island are the driest, warmest months, September–February as your chances of seeing the penguins are higher. But Bruny Island is open all year round. This part of Tasmania you will find that January is the hottest month with an average temperature of 18°C (64°F) and the coldest is July at 8°C (46°F). The wettest month is March with an average of 50mm of rain. The Bruny Island weather can be ever changing so pack accordingly.

The autumn months of March, April and May is a season for wines, fresh Pacific oysters & the famous Fagus tree changing to glorious reds and yellows. If you want to see southern right and humpback whales, the best time to visit Bruny Island is when their migratory path passes the east coast in May, June and July, and back again in September, October and November. The winter months are still wonderful for hiking, with temperatures between June and August an average maximum of 12°C.

Great tour to Port Arthur. Our guide Mark made the trip informative, humourous & efficient. Truly enjoyed it!

An amazing day that could not have started any better than with beer and cheese. Allen kept us entertained with his local knowledge and cleverly moved things around on the tour to stay one step ahead of the weather.

Thanks for the opportunity to give our amazing driver/guide Sam another pat on the back. He was excellent. He even makes good coffee. The whole Bruny Island experience, including the weather, was excellent.

The guide was a real asset. His commentary and humour filled in where the weather could not.

Gourmania Food Tours Tasmania - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Worthington Farmers Market, Columbus Food Adventures voted as the best in the country

The Worthington Farmers Market is to open its summer season May 4 with a major honor to its credit. It has been voted by readers of USA TODAY as the nation's best farmers market.

They must be doing something right at the market that runs every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon along a stretch of High Street in Old Worthington. The Worthington Farmers Market topped outdoor markets that operate along the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach, Florida, and at an oceanfront park in Honolulu.

The West Palm Beach GreenMarket had been voted No. 1 in USA TODAY's 10 best reader polls for three straight years. This was the first year Worthington's market was nominated by a panel of travel writers and other experts.

More farmers markets: When do area farmers markets open? Here's a guide to where and when to go

The result of reader votes were announced today.

"Nearly 100 vendors from the Columbus area converge for the year-round Worthington Farmers Market that adapts to the seasons," USA TODAY wrote.

"In summer, May through October, farmers and producers of high-quality food and plants sell al fresco in the Old Worthington Historic District. The rest of the year, the market goes indoors at The Shops at Worthington Place."

The last indoor market takes place Saturday before it moves outdoors for summer.

Organizers say the Worthington Farmers Market, which began in 1987, should have its highest number of vendors ever this summer.

Columbus Food Adventures another favorite

Another favorite of Columbus foodies also was voted as the nation's best by USA TODAY readers. Columbus Food Adventures , which leads geography and cuisine-based food tours in Columbus and its suburbs, topped a list of nominees that included tours in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans and Chicago.

Here's how Columbus Food Adventures was described by USA TODAY: "From neighborhood walking tours to by-van excursions and private tours, Columbus Food Adventures offers a full menu of ways to meet the area's rich culinary scene. Whether you're a meat-lover, brew-hound, taco fiend or gastronomic globe-trotter, there's a tour to fit your appetite."

Walking tours include the Short North, German Village, Grandview Avenue, Dublin and Old Worthington, while van tours hit local taco trucks or a variety of international restaurants.

Results of a third USA TODAY reader vote also were announced. Budd Dairy Food Hall , the Italian-Village collection of bars and restaurants in an old milk-bottling plant, finished at No. 3 in voting for the nation's best food hall.

Mother Road Market in Tulsa, Oklahoma, finished at the top in national voting, while the Garage Food Hall in Indianapolis finished second.

Budd Dairy was ranked sixth in a list of the best U.S. food halls posted by the global travel site Big 7 Travel .

Take a Tour of the Chic Paris Apartment with Views of the Eiffel Tower on Food Network’s Next Baking Master: Paris

In the new Food Network series, premiering May 6, U.S. bakers travel to France to compete for the title of Next Baking Master

American cooks are saying bonjour to France in Food Network’s latest competition series, Next Baking Master: Paris .

Hosts Stephanie Boswell and Ludo Lefebvre are bringing 10 bakers to the City of Lights to learn, taste and bake French pastries. PEOPLE has an exclusive look at the first episode, which premieres on May 6. In it, the bakers tour the stunning Parisian apartment they will stay in after full days of croissants and macaroons.

The 10 competitors eagerly hop out of their cars to see the apartment. After pushing through grand entryway doors, they trudge up a beautiful, winding staircase — giving each other words of encouragement to make it upstairs with their large luggage.

“I’m sweating,” one contestant says. Another chef replies, “I think it’ll all be worth it.”

As soon as they open the doors, they learn it was in fact, worth it. The group awes at the sunlight-filled apartment with colorful artwork on the walls, wooden pillars in the living rooms and marble fireplaces.

“We are chic here,” says Paige, a chef from Brooklyn.

Food Network

The views may be even more stunning than the interior. Everyone takes turns admiring their unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower, which can be seen from their living room windows and from the balconies.

The contestants take a lackadaisical approach to choosing their specific rooms because they are all equally beautiful. Two chefs look out of the window to see a grandiose French street.

“Are you kidding me? I’m literally red,” says one chef, blushing from excitement.

For some contestants, being in France and competing on Next Baking Master: Paris is a massive milestone.

“This is kind of a dream for me, you know, being in Paris,” says Robert, a baker from Philadelphia. “You know, I grew up in a rough neighborhood in Philly and poor. It's so easy to be inspired here.”

To celebrate their abode and the start of the competition, the cast pops a bottle of champagne and clink their drinks for a “cheers” to Next Baking Master.

“May the sweetest one win,” one chef adds.

Every week, the 10 bakers will visit iconic pastry shops, like Ladurée, and be mentored by famous French chefs. Weekly baking challenges will send the lowest scoring chef back to America until a winner is crowned and given a full suite of kitchen appliances and baking equipment valued at $25,000.

Next Baking Master: Paris premieres May 6 at 9 p.m. ET on Food Network.

TikTok Food Critic Keith Lee Is Back in His Hometown of Detroit and Ready to Eat

The self-proclaimed TikTok critic is looking to visit local restaurants that could use his magic touch — though he didn’t realize the city was hosting the NFL Draft

Share All sharing options for: TikTok Food Critic Keith Lee Is Back in His Hometown of Detroit and Ready to Eat

Guess who’s back in Detroit? Keith Lee, one of the most viral names in online food reviewing and a native son of the Motor City, raised in the Joy Road and Evergreen area on the westside, has arrived in the city and is ready to eat. The TikTok personality returned with his family for a visit this week and is asking for recommendations of local restaurants that want to be reviewed.

It’s a busy time to go check out restaurants in Detroit, as Lee pointed out in a post published Thursday, April 25. There’s the NFL Draft taking place downtown (which is already breaking attendance records with a whopping 275,000 visitors who descended upon the central business district on Day One of the Draft). Helping to kick off the football festivities, another Detroit native, Big Sean, delighted fans Thursday with a quick performance on the Draft stage.

In light of the chaos overtaking much of the city’s hospitality industry during the Draft, Lee says he’s not treating this trip as a “full food tour,” but is rather taking this time to revisit some of his beloved childhood favorites, like coneys, corned beef egg rolls, and Better Made chips.

Lee wasted no time with the taste-testing, first stopping by Hart Plaza — the NFL Draft Experience area site, where dozens of local restaurants, food trucks, and cafes are set up for the festivities. He appreciated the fact that many of the food vendors were Black-owned. He offered a sneak peek of what he’s getting into food-wise during this current visit by checking out a tray of wings from Good Vibes Lounge . He reported that the East English Village establishment had just gotten hit (presumably by a car) and that the ownership was feeling “defeated.”

“God willingly, she got a space here at the NFL Draft,” Lee says, before he displays a screenshot of Good Vibe Lounge’s Instagram account to let viewers know how to find the neighborhood bar and restaurant.

“God don’t make no mistakes,” added Lee, who is known for his spiritual take on his so-called “ Keith Lee effect .” Eater has reached out to Lee via email about his visit and will report any updates when they become available.

Lee has become a household fixture among the food-obsessed for his food tours in cities across the United States, including San Francisco , New Orleans , Dallas , Chicago , and Atlanta — a destination that went viral for its many dramatic instances of bad experiences. A native Detroiter, who now lives in Las Vegas, Lee has more than 16 million followers and makes it a point to visit smaller mom-and-pop establishments — often that are BIPOC-owned — that may have impressive menus, but that might be lacking in online presence. His visits are unannounced and are primarily takeout. He often sends in a family member to fetch the food when it’s ready so as not to attract attention. He rates each place 1 to 10 for customer service and the quality of the food, and makes sure to note his personal preferences whenever he scores. When he first started, he focused on Vegas-area restaurants and did his reviews while sitting in a tiny children’s-sized Paw Patrol chair, and now he most often films his reviews in his car.

The “Keith Lee effect” that his reviews have on small businesses is profound. Janel Prator, owner of the Puddery , a Houston-area dessert business featuring Prator’s creamy banana pudding, told Eater in a December 2023 report that her shop was struggling to take off before a review Lee did his did of her place in November. His influence was immediate business took off, with customers lined up from the front door eager to try her desserts.

The last time Lee paid a visit to his hometown was in September when he reviewed several beloved local food businesses, including the Spot food truck, which, according to Lee’s review, had contacted him on social media to invite him to check out its food. He ordered a steak crunchwrap supreme with Hot Cheetos (on the side) and gave the truck a rave review for its service, house-made “Turbo” sauce, and commented that the meat was seasoned to perfection. Similar to Prator’s experience, the Spot also reported traffic snaked around its truck in the days after Lee’s review went live.
