Personal finance site WalletHub has released a ranking of the country’s best and most affordable food cities, where home cooks and adventurous diners alike can fill their stomachs—without emptying their wallets.
The ranking compares the local food scenes of 182 U.S. cities, including the country’s 150 most populated, based on two key dimensions: “affordability” and “diversity, accessibility, and quality,” measured across 29 key indicators. Those indicators range from the cost of groceries and a restaurant meal to the number of eateries, farmers markets, food trucks, and food festivals per capita.
