Food is a huge part of taking in a culture while you travel. Whether traveling domestically or internationally, a great trip can be identified with morsels you remember forever. From cheesesteaks in Philly to fresh pasta in Italy, I asked our friends at Soul Society 101 to vote on the destinations with the best food. Here is what they came up with.

People weighed in on some fierce competition between a variety of countries.
