Chicago
The Chicago food scene has many of the same staples as New York, but done in a way that only the Windy City could pull off! No trip would be complete without trying a deep dish pizza, but don’t get too greedy as these pies are so well stuffed you won’t have room to try the other Chi-Town delicacies. An Italian Beef sandwich from Portillo’s is an absolute must, as well as a Chicago style hot dog, gherkin and all!

An area known for innovation, that by no means stops at the restaurants! The city is no stranger to Michelin Stars but also has it’s fair share of farmers markets and independent local eateries. Also, if you’re looking to get away from the city, take the short trip up to Napa Valley to experience some of the best wine and farm to table cooking in the world!
New Orleans
You can’t beat some good, Southern hospitality and New Orleans has it by the bucket load! packed full of traditional Creole cooking, flavour is not something that’s hard to find on these streets.
