Few dishes say “San Francisco” like cioppino—a rich, tomato-based seafood stew that began with Italian immigrant fishermen in the 1800s. Legend has it they’d each “chip in” some of their daily catch to make a communal meal, and the name stuck. One of the best places to try it today? Tadich Grill, the city’s oldest restaurant—and the oldest in all of California. What started as a humble coffee stand during the Gold Rush has evolved into a place where locals and travelers gather for martinis, crab cakes, and steaming bowls of cioppino loaded with Dungeness crab, shrimp, and mussels. Ahead of the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, we rounded up 52 meals across America worth traveling for. Check out the link in bio for the full list. ✍️: @nderenzo 🎥: @wheresjessieb
