Inclusivity and Accessibility for All Food Lovers
Incloodie stands out as a pioneer in inclusivity and accessibility within the food tourism industry. Recognizing that many individuals face barriers due to dietary restrictions, Incloodie has made it a priority to offer options that everyone can enjoy, as much as possible. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are standard at each stop, ensuring that dietary needs are met without compromising the authenticity of the experience.
This commitment is exemplified by customer Sarah Montoya, a visitor from San Francisco who has celiac disease. “As a traveler who has celiac, I was so excited to find a gluten-sensitive food tour. I absolutely had to sign up!” Sarah shared. She expressed her gratitude for being able to participate fully in a group dining experience, noting how it made her feel included and valued. Incloodie’s thoughtful approach sets it apart in an industry where inclusivity is often an afterthought. By making efforts to ensure everyone feels welcome, the tour reinforces the unifying power of food and community.
The Vision and Inspiration of Founder Lauren Williams
Lauren Williams’s personal journey is at the heart of Incloodie’s mission. Diagnosed with a wheat allergy, Lauren had to navigate the challenging world of gluten-free dining, often feeling excluded and frustrated.
“My journey to creating Incloodie was deeply personal,” Lauren shared. “When I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy, I had to go gluten-free for my health, and it honestly crushed my world. Learning about gluten-free options felt overwhelming, and it was often embarrassing to ask for adjustments or to hear comments about the diet—it made dining out so uncomfortable. I wanted to create an experience where those struggles are minimized as much as possible.”
Lauren also drew from her years as a vegetarian and brief time as a vegan, further shaping her passion for inclusivity. She envisioned a food tour where everyone, regardless of their dietary needs, could have the opportunity to enjoy Dallas’s culinary treasures without worry. “Incloodie is more than just food—it’s an invitation for everyone to feel welcome at the table,” Lauren explained. “My goal is for people from all walks of life to experience the rich culinary scene of Dallas with fewer limitations.”
