Incloodie Food Tour

In the bustling heart of Dallas, Texas—a place I proudly call home—my journey began as an all-American woman with a deep love for my roots, my culture, and the unique history that shapes our state. Texas isn't just a place; it’s a feeling, and I’ve always been passionate about uncovering its stories and sharing them with the world. As a true foodie at heart, my career has always been intertwined with the food and beverage industry. At just twenty years old, I launched a restaurant review blog, savoring every bite and exploring every corner of Dallas’s culinary scene.

But everything changed when I was twenty-two. A diagnosis of gluten intolerance turned my world upside down. Suddenly, I felt left out at family gatherings and celebrations, unable to partake in the meals that brought us all together. Eating out became a chore, requiring research and worry instead of joy and connection. I knew I wasn’t alone in this struggle, and I wanted to create a space where people like me could belong—where they could enjoy food without the fear of chronic pain or isolation.

That's when Incloodie was born, out of a desire to bring people together, regardless of dietary restrictions. I created a food tour that’s as inclusive as it is delicious, offering gluten-free options that allow everyone to share in the delight of a great meal. Incloodie is about more than just food—it's about community, connection, and culture.

Our first tour, ‘Dallas Unveiled: Tejano Trails. A Journey Through Culture, Art, and Flavors,’ is a tribute to the soul of this city I love. We explore Dallas’s historic neighborhoods, meeting local artisans who breathe life into the city's rich heritage. We savor international cuisines, each dish a new discovery, and every stop catering to diverse dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegetarian options.

As we move through the city, we connect with small business owners whose passion mirrors my own—a dedication to preserving the unique spirit of Dallas. 

Join us on this journey through the heart of Dallas, where every bite tells a story, and every story is an invitation to celebrate life, love, and the vibrant tapestry that makes Texas—and Dallas—such a special place.
