If I were to do a ranking it would be tiered because each major city has different specialties, i.e., I'm not going to sit here and try to put Houston Italian restaurants against NYC or Chicago. At the same time, I don't know that it's fair to compare authentic Mexican in Chicago/NYC to Houston.
Houston has a dynamic food scene, no doubt, and certainly has the edge on ethnic diversity versus New Orleans. It is not, however, an international culinary destination like New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, etc. You can't just say "Oh we have more ethnic restaurants, we're a better food city."

Yep, hurricanes make it a culinary destination for drunks from Ireland.

I'll do the short list for you of what New Orleans does better:
Po-Boys (pretty much the only thing i HAVE to get when i go)
Beignets
Creole Food
Cajun Food (including boiled seafood - my goodness they have much to learn here)

In most "international food destinations" they would consider each ethnicity's food a different genre. In the context of our argument, why can't we?
