Do you prefer Peruvian to pizza night? Brazilian to burgers? Perhaps it's time to consider putting down some roots in a city that can keep up with your bold culinary tastes. Start by looking south of the Mason-Dixon Line, where the bulk of the country's 10 best cities for adventurous eaters are located.
The top diverse eating cities based on adventurous cuisine establishments per capita
We all know New Yorkers have the most total diverse eating options. But the factor that sets the cities on our list apart from the pack is the impressive ratio of international dining options per resident. From Caribbean to Creole, we ran the numbers on restaurants that cover all corners of the globe. And when it comes to adventurous eats per capita, nobody beats the Sunshine State, where four of our top 10 are located.
10. Tampa, FL

9. Baton Rouge, LA
Behind Florida, Louisiana has the second strongest representation on our list, with three Bayou State cities breaking into the top 10. It's no surprise that Baton Rouge residents have their pick of Cajun and Creole eats, but the international dining scene here goes way beyond etouffee.

Methodology
We took cities with populations more than 100,000 according to the U.S. Census Bureau and used 8 million commercially available business listings to add up the adventurous eating-related businesses in each city in the following categories – Vietnamese, Latin American, Cajun/Creole, International, Middle Eastern, South American, Caribbean and African. We then divided each city's population by this total to determine a ratio of the number of businesses for each resident to come up with our quantitative ranking.
