The 3050 number is as accurate as it's going to get. I have personally made sure of that.
Care to share that you personally assured us of that number ? Also, I don't believe most posters on here consider Fitzmorris as an authoritative figure on anything beside his own bloated carcass.

It usually helps to do that first.

My word is all I have, and I have spent the last year diligently ensuring that 3050 number is as close to accurate as possible and is currently up to date.
As for Fitzmorris' numbers, I would be glad to entertain anyone else's number of "real" restaurants in New Orleans if you can provide it.

I'm curious where Huntsville, AL is on that list. I swear a new restaraunt opens up every day there. That place has more damn eateries than Shreveport-Bossier and less population.

Huntsville population: 420,000
Huntsville restaurant number: 1148
People per restaurant: 366
Would be #13 between Knoxville and Portland.

The 180K number is from the 2010 Census.

Jimbeaux, as you will see on page two of the thread, there is evidence, but I will not say it is definitive, that Orleans Parish has more restaurants that people would consider fast food or chain per non-chain, non-fastfood than the surrounding parishes that make up the New Orleans Metro Area.

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.

Since I grew up in N.O., I left in the mid-70's, I never thought this. All cities have a vast majority of people who would just as soon eat a Big Mac as a quality sandwich. What makes New Orleans special is the large number of really good to great individually owned places, which makes the available choices so appealing.
If Baton Rouge were not 75 miles from New Orleans and 50 miles from Lafayette, it would be much more highly regarded, but BR suffers by comparison.

It's a myth only in his mind.
