Embark on a flavorful journey through downtown Pensacola, where the rich tapestry of its food and cultural heritage awaits. Duel Christian, whose family has been rooted in Pensacola since the 1930s, grew up immersed in the area’s history and developed a deep passion for its culinary traditions. As downtown Pensacola has flourished over the past decade and the tourism industry has doubled, Duel recognized that everyone who walks these streets should experience the historical knowledge and culinary delights that are so deeply ingrained in his soul. In response, he founded Seville Savories Food Tours, a concierge-style business dedicated to pleasing the palate while educating the mind.
