#1 Foodie Find - 10 Surprising Food Cities
Topping a list of the 200 most livable cities in American and taking the honor of Top Food Culture and Dining Experiences for 2010 is Traverse City, MI. Other cities in the top 10 were Asheville, NC; Boulder, CO and Eugene, OR. Take a look at the very complementary excerpt (below) from the article in livability.com.
Known as the Cherry Capital of the World, the Lake Michigan resort town of Traverse City does a pretty good job with other foods, too. With plenty of award-winning restaurants, wineries, farmers markets and dairies, Traverse City has been called "a new foodie haven" by The Huffington Post, and Midwest Living magazine recently named it second on its list of the region's "best food towns."
At the heart of the accolades is an emphasis on the farm-to-table philosophy. At Trattoria Stella, where chef Myles Anton was nominated for a 2010 James Beard Foundation award, the menu of Italian fare takes care to note ingredients from local farms and dairies. For wine lovers, the city's Leelanau Peninsula and Old Mission Peninsula wine regions lie along the 45th parallel — the same latitude that gives the Bordeaux region of France its famous reputation.
