Philadelphia tops list of 'Foodcation' destinations in U.S.: survey

The morning buzz. We didn't need the Michelin Guide to put us on the map. A survey recently ranked Philadelphia the number one foodation spot in the country. >> We have amazing food here. The new trend is heavily driven by Gen Z and millennials. And the survey conducted by Talker Research found food lovers spent an average of $900 on travel to experience a regional cuisine. They're willing to spend nearly $2,000 if it means tasting something on their mustry list. The iconic Philadelphia cheese steak topped them all. New York style pizza came in second, while Kansas and Missouri rounded out the top three for their barbecue. Most respondents say they prefer hole-in-the-wall eeries over bigname restaurants. I totally agree. I always felt like if you have a hole in the wall place, they're spending all their money on food, not on rent, which the big ones have to pay pay some pricey rent. >> People who always travel here and they want to get a Philly cheese steak, there's so many places to go. You got Delandro, you got Pats, you got Gino's, you got all these places.
