With World Food Day coming up on October 16, WalletHub has released information about the Best Food Cities in America. We’re focusing on the Top 15 here but we’re pleased to see some of the cities we’ve written about here on RealFoodTraveler.com on the list. For the full list and to find out more about WalletHub’s methodology, visit their site, here. We’re sharing the list because “culinary travel” is our thing and we’re all about encouraging our readers to explore the authentic foodie side of destinations they visit.

According to the site, “Americans today apply the term ‘foodie’ to anyone who loves gourmet dining. But foodie culture isn’t limited to restaurants. ‘Authentic’ foodies, according to experts, not only crave new and different flavors but also savor the exploratory experience of eating, learning and discovering food.'”

WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 30 key indicators of foodie-friendliness. “Our data set ranges from cost of groceries to affordability and accessibility of high-quality restaurants to food festivals per capita,” reports the site.
