Travelocity has compiled a list of the top 10 destinations for foodies on the hunt for a good meal. Check out the list below and tell us which of the cities has your vote.
- Barcelona, Spain
- Boulder, Colorado
- Charleston, South Carolina
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- London, United Kingdom

I personally want to check out Rome and Barcelona. Especially since El Bulli is near Barcelona. *sigh**misterbelly

For a good meal...

...I hate to say it, but Vegas is probably the best bet on that list. Quick - think of a celebrity chef. Chances are, they have a location somewhere in Vegas. Colicchio, Flay, English, Keller - they're all there.
But is it the one I most want to visit? Heck no. I'd say Rome and Barcelona top my list, too.
I can personally vouch for Montreal, having been there with my wife for our first anniversary this year. We had an amazing pris-fixe dinner at La Chronique, which we were told is one of the rising restaurants there, and spent a wonderful day in the Marche Jean-Talon (open air market) and the Fromagerie Hamel (amazing cheese shop that has a little cafe where you can sit and eat cheeses that they slice right before your eyes).
The rest of the American cities make sense (though Charleston intrigues me and Boulder is probably too much of a 'scene').
London? Really?
Charleston, SC

My parents have owned beach homes in Charleston SC since I was a child and I am a huge fan of the smart southern food you can find there. There is the best fresh fish on the Carolina coast in Charleston as a port town and many hidden gems that range from ultra modern to literally being inside someone's home, a biscuit stand in their front yard, a pie shop in their garage....in Charleston there is such a range. It is awesome!
So there's my rant on Charleston. It's no Barcelona or Rome, but let's face it, what US city is?
London

Being a graduate of Sheffield University, I also enjoy good pub food. people think that the British can not cook. They just don't know the right places. London has the greatest at both extremes of the culinary spectrum.
jazz fest
I would have to vote for New Orleans, just b/c it has new food, southern, cajun, fancy, and SEAFOOD.
I might have to say the best thing about jazz fest is the food.
I mean, I loved the music, but i can still listen to it now - I miss the food!
