Where Tables Become the Best Way to Experience a Place

Chew On This Tasty Tours creates hosted culinary experiences that bring guests together with the kitchens, makers, and communities that shape British Columbia.

From small-group journeys through local neighbourhoods to chef-hosted tables and private gatherings, every experience is designed for one simple thing:

Good conversation around a great table.

How the Experience Unfolds

Each Chew On This experience is designed as a relaxed gathering that introduces guests to the people and places that shape a community.

Depending on the experience, guests may move between a handful of welcoming stops or settle in for a chef-hosted table where conversation unfolds alongside the meal.

Along the way you’ll meet the makers behind the places we visit and spend time around the table with the people you came with.

No reservations to juggle.
No debating where to go next.
No splitting bills.

Just time to settle in, connect, and experience a place through its people.

A Table Worth Gathering For

ROOTED in Fort Langley brings guests together at Tradish with Chef Sarah Meconse Mierau for a gathering shaped by Indigenous food knowledge and seasonal ingredients.

Guests begin by blending their own tea using traditional plant medicines, guided by Indigenous knowledge holders, before settling in for a thoughtfully prepared lunch.

The experience unfolds slowly around the table, where stories are shared, conversations deepen, and the meal invites guests to linger together.

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Lise.

Long before Chew On This began, Fort Langley and many of the communities we visit were places I found myself returning to again and again.

Over time, the café owners, chefs, and makers behind these places became familiar faces. Many of them are the same people who warmly welcome our guests today.

Chew On This grew from a simple idea: introducing people to the communities I’ve come to know through the kitchens, cafés, and makers that give them their character.

Today our hosts guide small groups between a handful of welcoming stops where tables are waiting and local makers share what they do best.

By the end, it often feels less like an organized experience and more like being shown around by someone who knows the town well.
