Per capita is a different discussion altogether. But I've seen the discussion of "top food cities" and people insisting that #1 was New Orleans.

Who the hell knows?

I’m not well-traveled enough to have spent ample time in Paris, NYC, San Fran, Albuquerque and other top food cities.. but i have lived in a few different states, was born and raised in NOLA and, having lived there as an adult until recently, there are so many good restaurants that i every time we decided to go out for dinner, it was always hard to decide where to go.. forget trying new restaurants , that’s a whole other ball of wax, but even old standbys- there are so many of them that are truly great; from the Quarter to Uptown to MidCity, hell you could drive your arse out to Manchac and have some good seafood at Middendorfs, or way out to the Westbank and dine at Mosca’s- or a hundred places in between.

I don’t want to be so myopic as to suggest that NOLA is ‘the best’ when it comes to food, but as far as someplace that revolves around eating, and where the old cliche about people around the table talking about where they’re gonna go for their NEXT meal is absolutely true- New Orleans doesnt have many equals.


ETA: i meant Sante Fe, not Albequere, lol
