Road Trip? 7 Must-Visit U.S. Food Capitals

Love artichoke dip? There's a good chance those artichokes came from Castroville.

This community in central California's Monterey County produces almost 80% of all artichokes in the U.S. and is the (self-proclaimed) artichoke center of the world. Castroville celebrates its most important crop each summer at the Artichoke Festival, with chef demos and other entertainment. There's no beauty pageant, but in 1948, Norma Jeane Mortenson, better known as Marilyn Monroe, was California's first honorary Artichoke Queen. Hungry for more? Head to the Giant Artichoke Restaurant for French-fried artichoke hearts, and then make a side trip to the nearby city of Gilroy, known as the "Garlic Capital of the World."
