Erica Fox GehrigWelcome to Madison's original food tour!
With our guided, narrated walking tours, you'll experience Madison's history, architecture and culture while sampling delicious Wisconsin specialties.
We are Erica and Mark Gehrig - a mixed marriage of Madisonian and Flatlander, but both Badgers. We love it here! As explorers ourselves, we are constantly searching for new Madison restaurants, interesting food, and historic buildings.
Erica’s past employment adventures include the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Wisconsin Historical Society. She spends her free time planning trips for the family and for friends.
Madison Food Explorers was established in 2010 before the boom of the food tour business. Erica joined the MFX team as a guide in 2013, and still gives a majority of the tours. We are excited to tell you the stories behind the Madison restaurants and the Capitol doors.
Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to be a part of the heart and soul of Madison’s food scene.
