I consider myself a true "foodie". I'm always looking to check out the latest and greatest of food spots. I love dining whether it's upscale or on the cheap. Which is why I'm excited to share WalletHub's list of top foodie cities to explore.
Just how did WalletHub determine some of the best and less expensive foodie scenes? They looked at more than 180 large cities in the U.S. And included 29 key metrics like affordability, accessibility to high-quality restaurants, to food festivals and even the average cost of craft breweries and wineries.
Two North Carolina cities are included on the list. Charlotte ranks at #48 and Raleigh at #36.
These cities rank in the top 10 of Best Foodie Cities in U.S.

Sacramento, California
Seattle, Washington

Las Vegas, Nevada
