For fans of food, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that as a
town, we love to eat. From hot dog carts in Belltown to
three-course dinners in Ballard, you don’t have to go far to
find a treat.
In fact, real estate site Trulia says that Seattle
is the fifth best city in the U.S. for dining out.
The results of the list have nothing to do with our stellar
celebrity chefs. According to census data, Seattle has the
fifth most restaurants per capita in the U.S.
Still, we don’t have anything on San Francisco, which has 50
percent more restaurants. The city with the second most
restaurants: Fairfield County, Conn.
Coming in as the third and fourth best cities to find fine
dining are Long Island, NY and New York City respectively.
While quiet Connecticut might have more eats per capita, I
think Seattle can take pride in being home to celebrity
chefs so good they’re even asked to make school lunch fancier.
