Who I am.
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I’m the founder of Brick City Food Tours, a downtown Ocala food tour. I’ve lived in Ocala for a decade and through my work with nonprofits and artists, have come to appreciate the downtown food scene, as well as the history that surrounds it. I’m passionate about sharing the unique cuisines, crafted by talented local chefs, that make Ocala's downtown eateries worth exploring.
