re: Most "overrated" food cities in the US

That’s the only reason she won a James beard award. As has been the trend of late. Women of color are all the rage, really any class of person viewed as marginalized has been thrust to the forefront of the food industry.

So for me the list is Chicago and Nashville. Both have great food, but I don't consider Deep dish pizza, steak houses, etc. to be a food city.
Yeah... there's a lot more to Chicago than this...
Ha, I Absolutely agree, but that’s about every big city. I love the china town there, but it’s what the 3rd or 4th best in the states?some great ethnic food, but again that’s neither local nor what ethnic food is the best or top in the states?
I don’t consider an American city a great foodie city because they have good polish food which is at best like 8th best food of Europe.
Again, all big cities now have great restaurants. I’m not awarding Chicago for being great because it’s huge and has a lot of high end restaurants.

clutch those pearls pussy It’s a fact. Just look at the James beard award winners and nominees over the past three or so years. They actively promote people who they view as marginalized and use the award as some kind of reparations. Same way with food publications, it’s all about queer owned and black owned and cultural appropriation in cooking.

Something as simple as an English muffin was outstanding in Napa.

Queer is the accepted nomenclature
I don’t see you refuting any of my statements btw. Just making dumbass retorts as usual.
Also, I can’t believe you haven’t made a reference to your wife’s time as an Olive Garden line cook yet

I will in a bit if you’d like . Would you like me to? With the percentage of the black and gay population in relation to how they are represented in James Beard award winners? Perhaps you should do this to prove your point on how the awards have shifted to blacks and queers as a form of reparations. (Can’t believe I actually just typed that)

How the James Beard Awards are trying to be more diverse
In 2019, 10 out of 16 awards that go to people, not restaurants, went to women or people of color.
The new baseline for the awards

The 2018 James Beard Awards featured some historic wins for gender and racial diversity — in the 16 major competitive categories where a person wins the award, 11 winners were women, people of color, or both.
In 2019, 10 out of 16 awards that go to people, not restaurants, went to women or people of color.
The new baseline for the awards
quote:
immediately after Onwuachi gave a rousing speech calling on the community to recognize cooking as the inclusive craft it can be and highlighting the significance of his Rising Star Chef win — “54 years ago, the last restaurant was integrated and Jim Crow was lifted. And here I am, my ancestors’ wildest dreams,” he said — Beard winner Greg Wade flattened the complexity of systemic discrimination that plays out through America’s food system with an “all lives matter” speech. Accepting his award for Outstanding Baker, Wade said: “We have one food system — for the 1 percent, for the 99 percent, for Democrats, for Republicans, for Black Lives Matter, for Blue Lives Matter. And we all have to start working together.” A restaurant culture that routinely excludes women and people of color; a food system where Americans who live at or below the poverty line do not have the same access to fresh food that wealthy Americans do; an agricultural system that exploits vulnerable undocumented immigrants; a country in which cops shoot unarmed black citizens with impunity: You could say that’s one system. But that one system is a system of inequality, of racism, of sexism. A message of togetherness suggests a current system that’s worth maintaining; I’d love to hear more calls for breaking that system down.

That article is cringeworthy. I will cede you that point.

The motives of the James Beard Awards have become apparent in the the last couple of years.
Its become undeniable.
I wish we could just award the best of anything without looking at gender and color.

I think the food there is great but it's not on the level of somewhere like New Orleans.

Difficult to have conversation about food in Chicago if “high-end” is all you think about.
Between restaurants in West Loop, Mexican in Pilsen, Indian and Pakistani on Devon, African in Uptown and Edgewater, Greektown, Chinatown, etc., there’s something for everyone.
Without meaning any sort of offense, many visitors of Chicago find it difficult to leave the downtown area.
