I can't see how this data tells us anything about the food culture, or lack of it, for any area. So many variables can make it high or low that have nothing to do with the quality dining possibilities for an area.
I appreciate the effort, because this statistic is frequently used, but it is like rating football players based on shoe size.

I agree with you completely. A city could have one hundred locally owned restaurants and a thousand chains, and that city could still be a top food city. Nonetheless, the idea of New Orleans being a pure city in the sense that chains do not proliferate and succeed in the city itself is a myth.
I think it's worth discussing why New Orleans has so many chains. Is it a result of poverty (the poorer one is the more likely one is to eat fast food)? Is it because independent restaurants of quality are isolated, grouped together, or too expensive?

I believe this works for basketball 80% of the time.
