Austin is known for its love of food, food trucks, and there is a surplus of amazing cuisines to join in on the "foodie" lifestyle. According to WalletHub's findings, Austin is voted one of the Top 10 Foodie Cities in America. 

These wallet-friendly cities cater to foodies who prefer to cook at home, explore the local gastronomy or both. To determine the best and cheapest foodie scenes, WalletHub’s analysts compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 24 key indicators of foodie-friendliness. Their data set ranges from the cost of groceries to affordability and accessibility of high-quality restaurants to food festivals per capita. 

In order to determine the best and cheapest local foodie scenes, WalletHub’s analysts compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across two key dimensions, “Affordability” and “Diversity, Accessibility & Quality.”

Austin comes in at No. 7 on the list of top foodie cities and there is no surprise why! Enjoy a 'fine-dining' dinner downtown, escape to a food-truck park, or slid past one of the many fast-food joints on the loop!
