Food tours are a great way to discover the pulse of a city when you travel. That&apos;s how Rupesh Kassen has always immersed himself in the cities he&apos;s travelled to. So when he moved to Cape Town and started exploring the food and culture of the &apos;Mother City&apos;, it seemed an obvious gap in the local tourism market that he could step into. With a background as a chef and a long stint in the corporate finance world, he thought it was time for (another) career change, so he started Eat Like A Local. It&apos;s a food tour that introduces tourists - both foreign and domestic - to his new home. We chatted about his journey and his views on the growth of the tourism economy. <a href='https://eatlikealocal.co.za/'>Eat Like A Local</a> <ul> <li>On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner</li> <li>Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson</li> <li>All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited</li> </ul>
