Looking for food tour in Tel Aviv
I am going to Israel in December, and would like to do a food tour in Tel Aviv. There are a lot of them. Can anyone recommend one they’ve been on and loved? Restaurant recommendations welcome also. Thanks!

Maybe better stick with walking and eating around the markets (there are about 6 total in TA) as a cheap and cheerful introduction to what's available now, and a way to hear about other good food locations (tours, shops, restaurants).
More recent data shows (due to pandemic and/or personal decisions):
1) Mr Komarovsky operating mostly or completely in the Galil, and by Zoom classes. New contact info if you're still interested:

phone: 3-9175575
2) No current teaching or tour offerings from Mr Holland.
Go to the Carmel Market (shuk ha carmel) or Levinksy Market. There are paid tours of the market, but you can probably get around without one, and spend your money on street food lunches, and snacks to bring back to your hotel/B and B.
Two great teachers, one sometimes in Tel Aviv and one hosts custom meals in Jerusalem, if you're getting to that city.
1) Erez Komarovsky (chef, baker, teacher. Lives in Galil, often cooks from what he finds when foraging). Sometimes in TA and teaching or hosting dinners.

2) Shmil Holland, a food historian who used to (and maybe still does) host meals for small groups, in Jerusalem.
