The only exception is Greek / Lebanese food. I've yet to find a city in the US with better food like this.
I find this hard to believe. Louisiana has relatively small populations of Greek and Lebanese people, and for some reason Louisiana lumps the two cuisines together despite them being distinct (and I haven't seen anywhere else lump them together).
I'm married to a Greek woman from Chicago (which has one of the largest Greek populations in the US) and Chicago Greek food is better than anywhere I've had in Louisiana.
And I've had a long term girlfriend from Lebanon (I love Mediterranean women
), and the best Lebanese I've had is in Michigan. This post was edited on 12/12/23 at 7:16 pm

It doesn't get discussed much, but the few interviews I've read basically outline that it was a combination of exposure and (way the back when) to counter anti-Middle Eastern bias. Conveniently, I remembered this article that ran fairly recently: LINK
