Cooking Vacations in the U.S.A.
The food scene in the United States has evolved drastically in the last 20 years, with American chefs now considered among the best in the world. You don’t need to limit yourself to large cities to find amazing food, you can now find gastronomic wonders in small towns and large cities, from north to south, from coast to coast. And increasingly, chefs focus on locally grown, seasonal ingredients, creating true farm-to-table experiences.
At The International Kitchen, we’re proud to offer cooking vacations in the USA as part of our growing portfolio. These programs can be arranged as all-inclusive cooking vacations in the USA or customized culinary vacation packages.

FAQ: Food Travel in the U.S.
-
Where is the best food in the US?
Rather than a single “best” food city, America’s culinary excellence is distributed across distinct regional hubs. New Orleans claims fame for Creole cuisine and innovative fine dining, while Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods offer everything from deep-dish pizza to molecular gastronomy. San Francisco’s farm-to-table movement revolutionized American dining, while Puerto Rico’s vibrant food scene blends Caribbean and Spanish influences with modern techniques.

What is the only state with a state meal?
Oklahoma stands unique as the only state with an official state meal, consisting of fried okra, squash, cornbread, barbecue pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, grits, corn, chicken fried steak, black-eyed peas, strawberries, and pecan pie. This extensive menu reflects the state’s Native American, pioneer, and Southern influences, while celebrating local agricultural bounty.

What is the most common dinner in the U.S.?
While traditional “meat and potatoes” dinners remain popular, modern American dinner habits have evolved to reflect the nation’s diversity. Chicken holds the top spot for protein choices, often prepared in various global styles from stir-fries to tacos. Pasta dishes, influenced by Italian-American cuisine, remain weeknight favorites, while newer trends show increasing interest in plant-based meals and international fusion dishes.
