City living spending on Food & Drink

I found this website on city inhabitant spending and it was an info-gasm. It's pretty cool to see the breakdown of demographics, and how each city and its inhabitants spend money on food dining in or out, groceries, and drinks. The graph to the right is ridiculously hard to read; So PLEASE check it out directly via the website by clicking here.  Here are a few stats "of note" from the website:
• Austin, TX, residents spend almost twice ($6,301) the US annual average for dining out.
• In fact, five average Detroit households (the nation’s lowest spenders) can eat on one Austinite’s food budget.
• If Manhattan were its own city, it would be No. 1 for food spending ($13,079) and No. 1 for share of food budget spent on restaurants (59%).
• In Atlanta, dining out accounts for 57% percent of the city’s average total food and drink spending annually, the highest in the US and 28% higher than the US average.
• Denver residents allocate 22 percent of their daily spending to food, more than any other big city in the country.
