If you hate the word foodie, and I know I'm not alone on this – in fact, there are a number of essays about how terrible a word it is – you will "love" this study.
A study recently came out, identifying the top 10 foodie cities in the United States.
In case you need reminding, as the good folks at Merriam-Webster defines it, a foodie is "a person who enjoys and cares about food very much."
The study was conducted by Infogroup, a marketing services and analytics provider headquartered in Papillion, Nebraska. They came up with their list by using its business database of more than 17 million records and a consumer database of more than 235 million individual records to come up with the cities that have the highest foodie score.
So without any further adieu, we'll get to the list. And then discuss.
The top foodie cities in the United States are:
1. San Francisco.
2. Santa Cruz, CA
2. Bridgeport, CT (Tied with Santa Cruz, CA)
4. Barnstable, MA
5. Ocean City, NJ
6. Boulder, CO
7. Santa Fe, NM
8. Trenton, NJ
9. New York City, NY
10. Santa Rosa, CA
