Not when New Orleans usually ranks among the top food cities in the world by some of the top food websites and top travel websites.

(and by we I mean me lol)
Yeah, sorry about that, for such a small city #25 is pretty high on the is list. 182 cities is a long list I had to weed it out some how and near the bottom I kept the California cities since I live in California.

NEVER heard of Minneapolis as a "foodie" city. Been there many times, and have never thought this. Anyway, there are lists everywhere, and they all disagree. None that I have seen, though, list Minneapolis way up there.

I think there's a disconnect in your logic here. Sure it's a small city, but at 200k it's within range of cities like Des Moines or Spokane, which you thought to include. Yet it's urban and metro areas are much larger than both. Perhaps a quick google search next time

It's WalletHub, I am virtually certain they just make stuff up. None of their lists make sense.

Because WalletHub is a joke.



Try Zagat's instead. You know, people who actually write about food for a living.

So we should trust a source that tells us that Raleigh is a better food town than New York City?

Yikes.

Where did you eat while in Baltimore? I may have to avoid that place.
