This sounds like a load of crap to me.
Can’t?

I can get cinnamon buns and rice with meat up here. We just don't call them king cakes and jambalaya, respectively.

You could just copy and paste Alison Cook's top 100

I tried googling this and every time I click the list I get an error. You got the list? I want to see what all is one there and maybe find some new spots to eat.

This is exactly what I mean by the cuisine isn't duplicated or transferred outside the area.
I went to visit some friends from New York recently who now live in Connecticut and wanted me to make jambalaya. Before I got there, my buddy said, "I'll start it and you can finish it when you get here.." When I got to his house he'd browned the meat and filled the pot with water.

Even Houston people don't think the restaurants here are as good

You either don't know how to go to any places outside of the Quarter, don't care to broaden your horizons, or are a jackass. Sure NOLA lacks Asian and Mexican, but it is not un-diverse. The Grand Dames might all have very similar cuisine, but the places that keep NOLA in the spotlight with Beard awards and other national recognition are far from "cajun" or "creole" places (I guess Peche fits in there but my coonass relatives from down da bayou ain't cooking like that). If you can't find almost any ethnic food you can think of in the city you aren't looking with your eyes open.

So if you move to New York, you are no longer able to make jambalaya?

Do you know of any restaurants that serve it in New York? What does it look and taste like? Regardless, jambalaya is the most basic Cajun/Creole dish and not on the same level of dishes served in better New Orleans restaurants, which aren't duplicated and successfully replicated outside of New Orleans.
I will say though, that Brennan's in Houston is an exception and does produce New Orleans cuisine outside of New Orleans.

Jambalaya isn't even a NOLA thing really, it is more of an Ascension Parish thing. Same with gumbo and crawfish, they have places in NOLA that make them, but I wouldn't list them on a list of NOLA cuisine. NOLA cuisine, like everything else here and throughout south LA, is a mix/bastardization of French and Caribbean influence.

I'd say creole jambalaya and gumbo are definitely New Orleans items. While they have their cajun country counterparts they are very much rooted in the Spanish/African creole tradition.

Jambalaya is an analogy. Same can be said for New England Clam Clowder.. Dat’s not a New Orleans dish and doesn’t resonate here like it does as a tradition in say, New York.

It doesn’t mean they “can’t” be replicated.

Then don't come; I couldn't care less where people flock to as vacationers. The restaurants people "go to New Orleans for" aren't even remotely close to my favorite meals in the city sans maybe Commander's.
I've had 2 meals in the last 2 months at Squable and Xochi in Houston that I'd put up against anything I've ever had in New Orleans.

I lived in Houston for a little over a year and fricking hated it. That said, the food scene was one of the few redeeming qualities.
