This was just rated the Best U.S. City for Foodies — an honor bestowed by the Cookie Rookie.
One study says it is, but Molly Martin suggests we consider the source. Like the recent research that led to, this data was not based on any actual meals. Instead, this ranking of the Best U.S. Cities for Foodies comes from a recipe website called the Cookie Rookie , and is part of its research on state dishes.of the news, readers suggest that more research is definitely required. Says Sara:Denver has significantly improved the food scene over the past thirty years, but it is not #1.
That means good luck finding anything deep-fried, fatty or heavily spiced. Overpriced and overrated novelty and vegan food, etc. And when they want"ethnic" food, they go to whitewashed, gentrified versions of ethnic food like it's an amusing experience to eat"Mexican food" even though there is real Mexican-style food just down the street in places like Aurora and Lakewood...
So if you want an unsalted vegan kale wrap or $20 squid ink tacos, you're in luck. Otherwise, go to literally anywhere else for better food.The list is based on"the cost of a meal, the number of restaurants at different price points and Instagrammability." The most idiotic criteria I’ve ever heard.And Chris concludes:For the record, according to the Cookie Rookie, the rest of the top five cities for foodies are Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Chicago.
