If you haven't noticed, food isn't just for eating anymore. Yes, humanity has always derived pleasure from chewing and swallowing, but it seems that the last few decades have ushered in this deep appreciation of food. Now people study it, they pursue it, and they talk about it like it's art.
The term "foodie"—a person keenly interested in food, especially in eating or cooking, according to Dictionary.com—was only coined in the 1980s, and today being a foodie is a perfectly respectable hobby. For those who follow their taste buds around the globe, U.S. News Travel has put together a list of the top 10 cities for foodies.
This list takes into account expert opinions, online user comments, each city's history with food, and the city's somewhat intangible contribution to the global culinary culture.
