According to the National Restaurant Association, last year Americans spent more money at food establishments than at grocery stores.
Inspired by these statistics, WalletHub conducted a study to find the best and cheapest cities for foodies across the US.
They based their findings on 21 different metrics, like number of food festivals per capita, cost of groceries, cost of alcohol, number of cafés and restaurants per capita, as well as number of affordable restaurants rated at least 4.5 stars.
