A culinary map of Franconia

Have you ever wondered what lies behind the culinary map? Here is the answer. The map is the result of the specialities competition of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. The main aim of the competition was to raise awareness of regional specialities. There were more than 200 entries in total. In the end, the jury and the public, through a citizens' vote, chose the winners, which are featured on the culinary map today. What mattered was that each speciality is typical, authentic and inseparably linked to the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region. Are you curious to find out which originals won an award?
