Except for that brief ’80s coke habit and a fleeting Miley Cyrus obsession, you don’t consider yourself a follower.

But you’ll latch like a leech onto Rebecca Wheeler’s ethnic market tours. The Le Cordon Bleu-trained foodie (Trotter’s to Go, Trio) leads walking tours of the city’s cultural haunts, which means you get to taste your way through the best bakeries, markets, and restaurants.

Snarf Southeast Asian on Argyle Street, check out Chinatown for a dab of Szechuan, taste how Swede it is in Andersonville, and test your intestines with Indian fare on Devon. During each tour, Wheeler gives tips on how to spice things up in the kitchen and a history lesson with local flavor.

Soon you’ll be scouring the markets like a bona fide hash slinger.

Now that’s worth getting behind.
