Get your fat pants ready.
The sign at the Bread Shoppe鈥檚 counter is the perfect fit for the latest tour to hit town.
Stopping at six Vernon eateries, the Okanagan Foodie Tour urges, 鈥淐ome Hungry!鈥�
Dipping into Olive Us, Hot Bread Shoppe, The Fig, Eatology, Station BBQ Smokehouse and Teassential, the tour gives a wide taste of just what downtown Vernon has to offer.
Host Loretta Friedrich created the tour as a way to highlight some of the best tastes, but also some of the more community-minded businesses in town.
鈥淭here are real people in this town that are real about what they are doing and what better way to connect them than over food,鈥� said Friedrich.
鈥淭he restaurants are locally owned and as much as possible farm to table or locally sourced so they are supporting businesses in the area,鈥� she said, adding: 鈥淎nd the food has to be good!鈥�
Vernon鈥檚 鈥淒owntown Discovery鈥� walking foodie tour not only gives people a taste of the town, but Friedrich has a rich knowledge of the history of the area and shares some interesting facts along the way.
鈥淭he reception has been very positive,鈥� said Friedrich, who already has plans for a second and third tour in mind. 鈥淟ooking forward to hosting more folks.鈥�
