My husband and I had such an amazing time. We went on a Saturday afternoon to the Ogden Utah food tour. We learned so much from our guide! He was so knowledgeable about every aspect, the good and the grungy of Ogden. So much fun! And the food was absolutely incredible! What a wonderful, wonderful value and adventure!

Thanks for your kind words, Susan, and thanks for including us in the birthday celebration! It truly was a pleasure having you on our tour. We love it when our guests come away with a greater appreciation for our beloved OTown and her fantastic food scene. Thanks again, and hope to see you again, soon!

We recently decided to visit Utah for our first time and chose to stay in Park City. I was looking for somethings to do near Park City, found the O'Town Food Tour and thought it looked interesting. I am so glad we booked this tour, it was one the highlights of our trip! From the booking process and the confirmation emails and reminders the communication was great. We met Rick, the owner of the business, at the Union Station and he even brought umbrellas for us as it was predicted to rain during our walking tour. Rick was absolutely delightful. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Ogden and is very entertaining. We started the tour with a fresh apple hand pie from a local bakery (Brookey Bakes) was so good and a great way to start. After meeting at Union Station and explaining how the town of Ogden became a major railroad hub in the 1800's, he walked us down the historic 25th Street District explaining the very unique and interesting history of Odgen. He is very passionate about the stories that come from Ogden's very "checkered" history and is very fun to listen to. The food tastings were all amazing! From Table Twenty for their gnochetti & brussel sprouts, to Tona Sushi Bar & Grill for samplings of their sushi, to Sapori Italian Bakery & Cafe for a cannoli and their homemade gelato, with a final stop at The Queen Bee to try their incredible chocolate. The food was all amazing, so much so that inspite of not being hungry (because the tastings are all good size tastings) we decided to go back and check out more sushi at Tona's but they had a long wait list and we unfortunately were not able to stay in Ogden that long. Good news is we will be planning a trip back to Utah, this time staying in Odgen to explore. We will definitely return to all of the stops on our tour and want to explore even more sites that were pointed out to us by Rick. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Odgen, I wish we would have done it at the beginning of our stay instead of our last day!

Wow, Deb! Thanks for the positive feedback and for sharing our passion for Ogden! It was an absolute pleasure having you on the tour. We look forward to catching you when Ogden lures you back!

Outstanding Valentine's walking and food tour. Rick was fantastic and super knowledgeable about the history of Ogden.Rick tells a great story and keeps the tour moving. Food was excellent. Thank you Rick!

Feb 22, 2024

Thanks so much, Karen--it was a pleasure having you on the tour. You know I love telling those stories! Hope to get you back for Bites and Brews!

This was the most wonderful experience! Rick has a rich knowledge of Ogden's history and loves telling a good story, especially the little "nuggets" that are not the typical storyline. Walking through old Ogden and seeing the gorgeous architecture of the buildings and the stories that go along with them was great. The food just took it to another level! Each stop we made was such an amazing experience; the restaurants were small, community-minded family-owned businesses that are concerned with using locally sourced foods as much as possible, and what they serve just can't be beat. You have to do this!

Thanks Julie! It was such fun having you...hope to see you again soon!

Ogden visitors can now taste the flavors of the city with the launch of ‘OTown Food Tours’ 

• by Press Release
• January 30, 2023 January 30, 2023

Inaugurating a new era of culinary tourism in Ogden, OTown Food Tours is proud to announce the launch of its “Taste Ogden” walking food tour on February 7, 2023. This guided culinary experience will showcase the best of what this historic railroad town has to offer in terms of restaurants and artisan producers. Participants will explore a sampling of offerings that represent the Ogden food scene.  

OTown founder Rick Proffer arrived in Ogden, Utah in 1996 and decided this would be the place to put down roots. With his passion for storytelling, he created OTown Food Tours as a way of celebrating all that is great about this majestic mountain town.

“OTown Food Tours’ mission is to support and celebrate Ogden through food and story,” Proffer said. “As a registered Benefit LLC, we know that when community members care for and support each other, we all thrive. Out of this abundance, a portion of every dollar spent goes to local non-profit organizations as they support children and families in our community.”

After a remarkable career of 25 years in public education, Rick decided to start writing the newest chapter of his life. Combining three passions – food, storytelling and exploring places – he launched OTown Food Tours’;  an opportunity for people to experience and learn about local cuisine while getting acquainted with their destination’s unique history.

“Ogden has a myriad of diverse, vibrant, and creative food and drink offerings, yet there are

currently no food tours operating in our city,” Proffer said. “A food tour has the ability to spotlight, celebrate and support our restaurants, shops, and producers while giving our locals and visitors a ‘Taste of Place.’”

OTown Food Tours offers a taste of downtown Ogden’s cuisine, history

By adam rubin - special to the standard-examiner | feb 12, 2023.

OGDEN — Rick Proffer, owner of OTown Food Tours, has launched by-appointment tours of the downtown food scene.

The tours officially started last Tuesday and are given in either in a private setting or to groups with a max of eight people. Tourgoers walk around a 1-mile radius in Ogden’s downtown district, tasting a variety of foods from different restaurants.

“OTown Food Tours is a celebration of the Ogden community,” Proffer explained. “What we do is we take locals and out-of-towners and we give them tastes of amazing food that Ogden is not known for but should be known for.”

Proffer started bouncing around the idea of creating a food tour for Ogden about one year ago.

Participants can expect to begin at Union Station on the west end Historic 25th Street, and Proffer has created relationships with local restaurateurs, which he refers to as OTown Food Tours’ “tasting partners.”

Proffer said one big reason why he decided to create these food tours is because he loves Ogden. He believes the city’s food scene is large and growing — but misunderstood.

On the tours, Proffer shares tales of Ogden’s history, as well as personal stories, over specialized food tastings.

“After I retired, I wasn’t going to sit around,” he said. “Part of what we are doing here is we are giving back to the community, and one of the components of that is that out of OTown Food Tour’s profits we will be giving to those in our community who may need some help.”

Proffer is offering a special discount to current and former educators, offering an “educator discount” on any tour they would like to book.

“Out of the profits from the tours,” Proffer said, “we donate to benefit children and families in the Ogden community, by donating to the YCC, the Boys & Girls Club and other organizations that provide for our Ogden community.”

Lynda Callister has known Proffer in both a personal and professional capacity, having first met him while her children were attending the former MarLon Hills Elementary School in South Ogden. Callister has worked for the Ogden School District for the past eight years.

“Rick just cares about people and he wants to make the world a better place, and it is evident in the tours he gives,” Callister said.

Callister shared some of the ins-and-outs of the tours, saying that it was like a little date for herself and her 14-year-old daughter, and she laughed while expressing that her daughter tried sushi for the first time, along with all sorts of different types of foods her daughter had never tried before.

“There was so much information that Rick shared, like all these little ‘aha!’ moments,” Callister said. “Rick points out architecture then shares a story behind it.”

Callister said that they felt like VIPs going around to all the restaurants, tasting different foods and at some stops on their tour getting to speak with the owners and hearing their stories.

Luca La Mantia, who opened Sapori Italian Bakery and Cafe with his wife, Azzurra Cuchel, in 2019, after moving to Ogden from Sicily three years prior, said Ogden is a small and warm community but still has plenty of room to grow.

“We wanted to give our customers a real Italian experience with food, our pastries and with our gelato too,” La Mantia said. “I believe that Ogden is a place where things still need to happen; I see Ogden as a white paper where you can just start writing in it, and we can see Ogden as a place where we want to grow, and we just want to be a part of that and write our Italian chapter in this book.”

La Mantia said Proffer is ahead of his time and wants to put Ogden on a stage. When he was approached by Proffer to be a “tasting partner” for OTown Food Tours, La Mantia said he was honored because he feels like Proffer is the right person for the tour.

“Rick was one of our first customers. … I remember the first time I talked to Rick, and I realized that he was someone that could tell a story,” La Mantia said. “When he told me about his plan for OTown Tour company, I told him, ‘Look, Rick, you have to be the perfect person to be doing this,’ because he really has that specific thing that keeps you there listening to him about this history of this place.”

OTown Food Tours events are offered year-round. According to Proffer, tourgoers can plan on spending two hours per tour. Alcohol is offered as an add-on. To schedule a tour, visit OTownFoodTours.com .
