Embarrassingly terrible top 5. Not sure why this is being treated as credible.

NO is the Working Man's Food City. Food is a major part of people's lives: classic hole in the wall joints, discovering new places, mourning the great restaurants that have closed.
That's not a classic American attitude. In the WASP Heartland, you would eat to live, not live to eat (Poor Richard). But that thinking has been changing over the last 30-40 years.
Other US cities may have immigrant communities with a similar food culture, but IMHO no other US city has it to the extent of NO,

I agree that they have a lot of those, but it also has a dynamic scene of mid level and upscale restaurants of various styles of food.

Washington DC is severely underrated. One of the best in the world

London? Baton Rouge has better food than London.

The food in the UK is complete arse.
I posted in another thread that I had one of the best venison burgers ever in London - at Borough Market.
London also has a few more Michelin stars than Baton Rouge.
Ireland has a lot of good food, too.

But even pub grub has been radically overhauled. Go to any neighborhood in London and search out the one or two "neighborhood pubs". Chances are, they are essentially gastro pubs now.
Here's one I frequent in Islington:

That's a shot of just one day of their fresh menu chalkboards (it changes significantly daily).
Even in remote Scotland, a "fish n chips" is likely to feature freshly caught haddock, good breading that is not over the top and a highly colorful veg - even the "mashed peas" are bright and well done.

Come for the food.
Leave with no car and a bullet in your head.

quote:yeah there’s no Michelin star restaurants in NOLA even. I think NOLA is a world class food city but last time when I was in NYC we made reservations prior for a couple nights to go to Michelin star restaurants to eat the kind of food they don’t have in NOLA. World class sushi and ramen restaurants. Don’t know of any of those in Nola
No NYC or London? New Orleans food is good but has nowhere near the variety you can get in a bigger city like NYC or even Houston.

New Orleans food wins at the corner store. There are a half dozen places within walking distance of where I work that have amazing food and look like a shack on the outside. Lines around the block good, and 100% worth the wait.

The one thing we do have in spades down in NOLA as well as the rest of south Louisiana, that cannot be found anywhere else, even Houston (which has very good Creole and Cajun places) is the fusion.
Didn’t vietcajun start in Houston?

Still beyond me why so many put stock in a rating system started by a tire company.
It has as much stock as the Nobel Prize TBH.
