The podcast for people who plan travel around meals, not museums.


Welcome to This City Is Delicious - the podcast for food lovers who hunt down a city’s best bites, book their restaurant reservations before their flights, and believe the only way to understand a city is through what’s on the menu.


Hosted by Kevin Durkee, Owner + Big Cheese of Culinary Adventure Co., Toronto’s top-rated food tour company - this show is your insider guide to the world’s most delicious destinations. After 15 years leading food tours in Toronto (the world’s most diverse city) and personally experiencing over 150 food tours across the globe, Kevin brings a perspective you won’t find in your average travel podcast.


This isn’t just about where to travel and what to eat, it’s about what’s actually worth it.


From sizzling street food and bustling local markets to iconic neighbourhood spots and under-the-radar foodie gems, Kevin dishes out expert food tour reviews, real honest feedback, and unapologetically spicy takes. Because let’s be real - not every “must-try” is worth your time or your appetite.


Alongside his Producer + Taste Bud Christen James, expect playful banter, real-deal recommendations, and the kind of tasty storytelling that makes you want to book a flight immediately (or at least your next dinner reservation). Each episode, they explore a different city bite-by-bite - sharing the hits, the misses, the meals and the markets - and every delicious mouthful in between.


Kevin will chat and charm local food tour operators, culinary insiders, and fellow travellers who live to eat - giving you a deeper look into the city’s food culture, true local businesses, and the stories behind every unforgettable dish.


On this podcast, you’ll discover: 🥟
• The best food tours and culinary experiences around the world.
• Hidden gems, local favourites, and can’t-miss eats.
• Street food, markets, wine bars, and neighbourhood guides.
• Honest reviews and spicy takes (no sugar-coating here).
• Tips to build your perfect food-focused travel itinerary.


Whether you’re planning your next trip, building your dream itinerary, or just craving your next great meal, This City Is Delicious is your go-to companion for eating your way through the world — one city at a time.
