True foodies know that some cities just have better eats than others.

WalletHub has released its rankings of the Best Foodie Cities In America. The analysis compared 182 cities across 28 "key indicators of foodie-friendliness," including the cost of groceries and the affordability and accessibility of high-quality restaurants.

"The top cities cater not just to people who enjoy dining out, but also to foodies who enjoy putting their own skills to the test by exploring new flavors in their own kitchens. In addition, these cities make delicious dining affordable for residents and visitors alike,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo in the report.

Here are the top 10 foodie cities, per WalletHub:

1. Miami, Florida

2. Portland, Oregon

3. San Francisco, California

4. Seattle, Washington

5. Austin, Texas

6. Orlando, Florida

7. Tampa, Florida

8. Las Vegas, Nevada

9. Sacramento, California

10. Denver, Colorado

Miami is the best foodie city in America, according to the ranking.

Miami leads the list largely due to its availability of affordable restaurants rated at least 4.5 stars out of 5, according to WalletHub. The city also has an "extremely high number" of restaurants per capita and has several high-quality choices, according to the report.

The metrics used in that list are confusing. High quality restaurants, restaurants per capita and cost of groceries should not be factored in the same top 10.

WalletHub must cater to woke hipsters. Just look at that list.

Surprised that Greenville, SC and Asheville, NC didn’t make the top 10. Both are very underrated food cities.

Retarded clickbait, not worth a thread let alone getting worked up over.

Denver, Vegas, and Sacramento in the top ten and not New Orleans? List is garbage.

And Gulfport has a population under 50,000 so it can only have so much, but even compared to other cities in the same size range there's no way it's bottom 10.

Denver has a horrible food scene. Food in Colorado in general is abysmal.

My top three are
1. New York
2. New Orleans
3. San Francisco

I put Las Vegas way up there because they have copied versions of many of the most famous restaurants throughout the country.

Charleston is my dark horse.
