About

The Savor Seattle Food Tours teamMy name is Angela Shen and I’m the founder of Savor Seattle. I love food. And more than anything else, I love sharing my enthusiasm with like-minded eaters!

My roots have always been firmly planted in the culinary world. To creating new dishes in my family’s restaurants and working in countless others, I learned that the power of food is indelible. It can inspire. It can convey joy. It can change lives.

In my corporate days, I worked in brand management at PepsiCo Beverages and Foods. I helped manage some of the most iconic food brands in the world, including Quaker Oatmeal and Life Cereal. But I always craved something more personal.

One visit to Pike Place Market sealed my new fate. It was my initiation into the Seattle food landscape. During my first weekend there, I lost myself in the aisles and shops that make up the labyrinth that is the market. Its infectious energy swept me up.  And despite it being a cold, blustery day and my having smoked salmon trailing down my shirt, I was in love. That was my “Ah ha!” moment and the rest is history.

Stories from Seattle’s culinary scene are plentiful and Savor Seattle will enable you to immerse yourself in that culture in a fun and intimate way. Allow me and my team the pleasure of guiding you on a journey for the senses. Come and be inspired!

Bon Appétit,
