Lisa and Diane Scalia of Melting Pot Food ToursFood tourism is a new trend in travel and one of the most popular and respected food tour enterprises is located right here in Los Angeles. The dynamic Scalia Sisters (Lisa & Diane) are the force behind behind Melting Pot Food Tours. It all started with their popular Original Farmers Market Tour (Third & Fairfax) in 2008. Their “East L.A. Latin Flavors” walking tour (via the Gold Line) really gives you the sights and flavorful tastes of that relatively unknown community. On Saturday’s show they will announce their newest food tour and it’s a grabber!

Talking about incredible flavors Jet will speak about his recent dining adventure at a dive BBQ joint in an unexpected Orange County location.
