About The Roaming Table
Starting a food tour in Lewiston, New York had to start somewhere! For Chris, the idea all began on a trip to Denver, Colorado when he came across a local Denver restaurant tour. The idea of a city tour that not only taught you a little about the area but experience the local cuisine sounded even better!
After taking the tour and enjoying the amazing experience, Chris decided right then that back home in Western New York would be a great place to start a food tour.
Chris built a food tour that he is extremely proud of and eager to share with foodies of both Western New Yorkers and tourists of the Buffalo/Niagara region.
