Underrated Culinary towns/cities

Somewhat of a spinoff from the New Orleans thread. In your opinion, what are some underrated or overlooked culinary food towns?
This goes without saying, but ignore the obvious heavy-hitters: NYC, SF, Las Vegas, Chicago, New Orleans, Houston, Austin, DC, Portland...what are some hidden gems out there?

This. Just spent a few days there and was extremely impressed with the quality of restaurants and breweries given that it only has population of 60K.

Providence. Federal Hill. Italian mecca.
Memphis is a good 3-4 day trip for the BBQ.
Miami is pretty major yet gets little to no national love.
Park City, UT has some hot stuff. Mustang is killer.
Savannah struck me as fairly ordinary. Decent, but nothing special.
Columbus, OH is the Taj Mahal of chain restaurants Hahaha
Alexandria, Virginia is big time.
Queens for insane breadth of international options/cheap grocery vendor type places. Holy shite.

I moved to Atlanta last summer and have been pretty surprised at what a great food town it is. I never really thought about it much before moving but it's impressive.

Birmingham easily. The change around Birmingham has been nothing short of miraculous over the last decade.
We visited Salt Lake city recently. The places we ate while there were top notch and surprising. I had not expected the food to be as good as it was.

Yeah, Atlanta is just way too big to not be a badass food city. Kinda the same thing w Los Angeles. Wherever there's more people, there's more talent. Math.

Boston has excellent seafood and Italian food.

I find, from my experience, South Florida is not so good in this regard.

Concur.
Haven't been in about a decade but found some really neat spots from everything from fine dining to soul food.
I can imagine it's even better now.

Where did you eat? Savannah has some really good restaurants for a town its size.

The Olde Pink House, Vic's On the River, assorted brewpub places, the Flying Monk Noodle Bar, some other spots I can't place right now.
Certainly not a bad food city, I think it had just been hyped up so much. I'm sure there are some quality spots I didn't make it to.
Very beautiful city. Lots of green space/nano parks throughout.

Of all the travelling I've done around the US, two spots stand out to me: Key West and upstate NC. Both had consistently good food, from casual lunch spots to breakfast to nice dinner spots (not real fine dining but $130-150 dinner for me and the wife). If you want specific restaurant recs I can probably try to dig up some old posts that I made.

Agree with Nashville and the mention of Miami earlier.
Nashville has so many young people moving there that new idea spots are being made daily. I love that city
Miami has really done a great job of taking some of the best spots in NYC and bringing them south.
Austin is an obvious one as a great food city as well.
