Where would you rank New Orleans for dining in the U.S.?

I am guessing second or third behind NY and San Fran.
I don't know because I've never been to either one of these cities.
Just wondering.

The highest it could be rated is #4 IMO
NYC, SF and Chicago are the top 3
After that, the debate begins

They are considered the home of a unique American cuisine that is readily available across the city. Neither NYC of SF can claim this.
I would certainly rate them in the top five.
NYC
Chicago
Houston
SF
Insert your favorite here.
Hard for me to place these in a ranked order.

I'm thinking of it this way...
If I had only one city to dine in for the rest of my life and money is no object, it would be hard to rule out Las Vegas as number one for me. I'd have everything at my fingertips.
To answer the OP's question, New Orleans has some of the best local resources, but lacks in ethnic diversity that the bigger cities have going for them, but it would still be in the top 5 for me.

A lot of rankings are interchangeable, but I'd feel perfectly comfortable with putting New Orleans in the Top 5. That says a lot considering how small the city is in comparison to the others I'd put in there.

There are good higher end restaurants in New Orleans and it can be difficult to distinguish the best of different cities. The strength of New Orleans restaurants aren't the high end places specifically but the how good the city is top to bottom. Stuff like Katie's, High Hat, Toups Meatery, Matt and Naddies, Boucherie, etc that would be highly celebrated restaurants in other cities but in New Orleans are "mere" well respected neighborhood places that don't attract a lot of tourists.

Austin deserves an honorable mention some got damn where...

Competing with New York for number one, but probably number 2.
Posted on 2/5/17 at 9:13 pm to theantiquetiger
Top 5
Posted on 2/5/17 at 10:48 pm to theantiquetiger
Per capita NOLA is #1.
NYC #1 overall.
NYC #1 overall.

Per Capita it's an easy number 2 behind Monroe.
Posted on 2/6/17 at 7:55 am to theantiquetiger
Top 5 and soon to number 1 in BBQ
Posted on 2/6/17 at 8:12 am to theantiquetiger
Per capita it has to be top 5. I think it gets a nod over a city like Houston in that it has it's own culture and cuisine. I do think NYC has to be #1 though.

Easily top 3. What other city in the U.S. Has such a distinctive culinary identity that is regionally unique? Even the other states along the coast that have had access to most of the same primary resources to work with (i.e., the seafood) don't have nearly the cultural identity our cooking displays.

NYC
Chicago
San Francisco
These are top 3 imo. Nola fits in number 4 or 5.
Competing with NYC? Lol no.

Keep seeing Vegas brought up in this thread. Not real familiar with that scene so am curious. I imagine Vegas has some high end restaurants in the casinos but outside the gambling area does it have the depth of quality, diverse restaurants that some of these other cities have?

I rank New Orleans #2 behind New York. I would put SF #3, especially if it is combined with the nearby wine country.
Posted on 2/7/17 at 4:13 pm to theantiquetiger
#1 for Best Indigenous Culture (and associated culinary experience), which causes it to move ahead of "Generic Metropolis 1-35" and into the overall top 5-10 IMO.
Posted on 2/7/17 at 8:31 pm to theantiquetiger
Definitely Top 5, at least for me. I might even have it as high as #3.
