<\/a><\/p>\nWith some of the best BBQ in Tennessee (try Old Plantation<\/a> if hankering for the real deal), down-home fried catfish dinners (go to Uncle Larry\u2019s Hot Fish for the best), and a surprisingly prominent number of fine dining establishments (usually with a southern comfort food angle), Chattanooga punches well above its midsize city status to deliver knockout food at reasonable prices. If not so well known for its food scene, Chattanooga is popular for the range of outdoor activities and access to the scenic beauty. So when it comes time to burn calories, don\u2019t worry. You\u2019ll find plenty of opportunities to get outside and play.<\/p>\n Cleveland has one of America\u2019s most inspired dining scene. From locally sourced – and often foraged – deli ingredients (Chef Jeremy Umansky\u2019s Larder<\/a>) to a donut bar where all the donuts are made with beer (Brewnuts), there\u2019s a big fun flavor for all who visit. Those in the know are fully aware that Cleveland is one of the world\u2019s best cities for pizza (Il Rione, Saucy Brew Works, and Edison\u2019s are but three Cleveland pizzerias to keep in mind). For fancier fare, check out Greenhouse Tavern<\/a> or one of the other fine dining establishments in the downtown area. Beer here is wonderful too with one of the most vibrant brewery communities in America.<\/p>\n All that stuff you like to eat up in New York? You can get all of it and much more with some cheap flights<\/a> to the good ol’ Garden State. Head to the Jersey shore, and you’ll get some sea breezes to add to it all too! About an hour or so south of Manhattan, Monmouth County boasts a disproportionate number of excellent places to eat. The pizza and bagels are just as good here as in the Big Apple (some say even better) and you can\u2019t beat a chargrilled hot dog with cheese fries or onion rings from the Windmill<\/a> on your day to the beach. Love seafood? Check out Moby\u2019s Lobster Deck<\/a> in Highlands (open in spring and summer), for Atlantic lobster, local clams, a raw bar and more including a gorgeous ocean view across Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreational Area. For more upscale options, the compact and concentrated dining scenes in towns like Red Bank, Asbury Park and Long Branch offer big city satisfaction with a pinch of small-town charm.<\/p>\n The food in Ireland\u2019s youthful and friendly second city is fantastic. Fans of regionally and seasonally sourced food will fall in love with the city\u2019s English Market, an 18th century covered market where the emphasis is on organic, fresh and mostly local food. Have a taste of long-standing traditions at Tom Durcan Meats<\/a> where the specialty is spiced beef. For an expertly prepared take on what\u2019s best at the market during your visit, go to Farmgate<\/a>. Located at the upper floor of the market with a commanding view of the bustle and commerce below, it\u2019s a smart place for classic Cork cooking made from scratch. The locally brewed beer is tasty too and poured properly at historic and welcoming pubs, where there\u2019s always a good chance traditional Celtic music is played live. In the morning you\u2019ll find the cafe and breakfast options almost overwhelming with an abundance of specialty, barista-led coffee shops and independent bakeries to choose from.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever been to Spain and found yourself oohing and ahhing at how yummy something was? There\u2019s a good chance the ingredients came from Galicia, a region in the northwest corner of the country. Jutting out with the Atlantic to its west and the Bay of Biscay to the north with lots of fresh water flowing into the sea, the seafood here is a dream. Percebes<\/em> (goose barnacles) are the most covetously sought. And if you love a taste of the sea, you\u2019ll die with joy when you try these. The region is also known for reared some of Europe\u2019s most flavorsome beef (though you\u2019re more likely to find it in high-end restaurants in Madrid, Barcelona or London). Galicia\u2019s two main cities, Santiago de Compostela and A Coruna, feature Michelin starred restaurants alongside collections of cozy bars and taverns serving tapas and regional dishes similar to what you might expect in cities like San Sebastian, Madrid or Sevilla. The wines from this region are exceptional too, especially the Albarinos which pair perfectly with local fish and seafood.<\/p>\n Connecticut is a small state and kind of like New Jersey is often overlooked due to its proximity to NYC. But make no mistake the food here is exceptional, especially if you love classic Italian American cooking. Home of Yale, New Haven has a wealth of noteworthy places to receive an edible education second to none. In particular, the city\u2019s own unique style of pizza or \u201capizza\u201d as it\u2019s called there is definitely worth a slice of your time. If you only have time for one pizza, head to Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana for its famed white clam pie. New Haven is also where the hamburger was invented. The Original Burger at Louis\u2019 Lunch is recognized by the Library of Congress as the Birthplace of the Hamburger Sandwich. Beyond this distinction, Louis\u2019 Original Burger is also extremely juicy and delicious.<\/p>\n Pitt County in eastern North Carolina is renowned for its whole hog BBQ. But that\u2019s just the beginning. The area has a craft beer scene to rival that in Asheville across the state. Close to the coast, it\u2019s a great place for fish and seafood as well. Back to the BBQ though, for the moistest, most memorable and satisfying meat dishes you\u2019ll ever eat, make your way to Skylight Inn<\/a> in Ayden for third-generation wood-smoked greatness or owner Sam Jones\u2019 eponymous restaurant in Winterville. For an impressive variety of restaurants, bars and breweries within easy walking distance of each other, station yourself in the friendly college town Greenville.<\/p>\n From odd traditional Victorian treats such as pickled walnuts to excellent produce grown throughout the year, Kent in southeastern England is the place to be. This is doubly the case if you crave fruits of the sea. Eclectic raw bars, pubs with Michelin stars, and all sorts of welcoming independent restaurants serve locally sourced oysters and other seafood. As for what to drink when you visit, Kent and neighboring regions of England are racking up awards for sparkling wine from local vineyards and wineries, including Hush Heath, Chapel Down and Biddenden Vineyards. Most destinations in Kent are about an hour away from London and can be reached by direct train.<\/p>\n Got a go-to foodie destination that\u2019s still off the radar (and you don\u2019t mind sharing with the wider world)?

Similarly, when asked what to eat in coastal Maine, most folks will tell you to have the lobster – and rightly so! Baltimore\u2019s a great place if you love to eat crab. In Austin?
