The next wave of US food cities
April 13, 2022 by DarcieAmerica’s largest cities have long been revered as destinations for food lovers, but that doesn’t mean you are limited to New York or Los Angeles for excellent dining options. Many other metropolitan areas have vibrant food scenes, and some of the locations listed on Food & Wine’s recent article on the 11 next great food cities will provide travel inspiration.
The list includes seven large cities with impressive culinary options, plus four smaller towns that are punching above their weight class. Starting off with Cincinnati, Ohio, we learn that there is a lot more to eat there than their famed chili (which people seem to either love or hate). Boise, Idaho gets some love; as does Omaha, Nebraska (home of the reuben sandwich); Indianapolis, Indiana; Jersey City, New Jersey (often called NYC’s sixth borough); Tucson, Arizona (designated a UNESCO city of gastronomy); and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Moving to smaller towns, the article highlights Bozeman, Montana (Kenji López-Alt recently posted on Instagram about some great meals he enjoyed there), Charlottesville, Virginia (one of my favorite US towns); Greenville, South Carolina; and Biddeford, Maine (home to the wonderful cookbook store Rabelais). You can find links to excellent restaurants, food halls, and even hotels in all of the cities mentioned in the Food & Wine article.
