Describing “foodies” as individuals who crave new dining experiences, but also the exploratory experience of eating, learning and discovering food, WalletHub conducted a study of more than 180 U.S. destinations to find the cities best suited to foodie travelers.

The study named Portland, Oregon, as the top spot, followed by San Francisco, Miami, New York and Los Angeles.

The study looked at data on cost of food, number of high-quality restaurants, number of food festivals and more.

Portland ranked first in categories such as most craft breweries and wineries per capita and most coffee shops per capita. However, it also took first place for highest average beer and wine prices.

The study also found New York is the worst city for cost of groceries, while multiple destinations across Texas ranked highly for low cost of groceries. Midwest hubs like Indianapolis, Detroit, Toledo and Milwaukee ranked for lowest beer and wine prices. New York took first for most restaurants and most gourmet specialty food stores per capita.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
