Southern Living Magazine recently named the top 15 cities for food lovers to visit, and two Mississippi cities made the cut. They listed Oxford at number 5, and Cleveland came in at number 12.

The list for Oxford could have easily been pages in length, but Southern Living highlighted places such as City Grocery, Snackbar, Neon Pig, and the James Beard Award semifinalist for Best New Restaurant, Saint Leo.

In Cleveland, food lovers are encouraged to stop by Delta Meat Market, Hey Joe's, Delta Fast Food, Levee Break Grill, and The Senator's Place.

Next time you find yourself in or around these Mississippi towns, stop by one of the mentioned restaurants and see for yourself why they've made this list. To see the full list of the top 15 places to visit, view it here.
