Sydney better than Melbourne for food, say travel readers

Readers of prestigious international travel magazine Conde Nast Traveler have ranked their World’s Best Food Cities, as part of the publication’s Reader’s Choice Awards for 2014, announced this month.

If your every second thought is consumed by food, glorious food, you should seriously consider jetting off to one of these top nosh cities, as rated by your fellow travellers.

And while proud Melbournites will no doubt be shocked that nemesis Australian city Sydney easily outranks it on the food front, perhaps the biggest surprise is the absence of two self-proclaimed food capitals, London and New York, from the awards menu.
