There is nothing you can eat in Denver that you can’t find better in Dallas.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Dallas is a great city but it does have good food.

i don't think i've ever eaten in dallas, but i've eaten well in arlington many a time.  arlington and vegas would really be the only us cities that i'd mention as being better than any others i've eaten in.

Does Arlington have like a good strip mall ethnic food scene?

[chum1]

I ate at Guy Fieri's in Vegas. It was amazing. And the food was okay, too. One day of Vegas was enough for me, so I only ate at one other place. In-N-Out by UNLV. It was kinda shitty, which is weird because they tout their quality control.

No. Arlington is the definition of a soulless, chain-dominated suburb (a Ft. Worth suburb, no less). He's just conflating Arlington and Dallas so he can guffaw from his Ionian white and gold throne in Sacramento (am I recalling this correctly?).

It's a play on beems's Dallas = LA thing, ergo Arlington = LV. He's just being a scurrilous little crap, as usual.

Vegas is interesting because there is amazing food right alongside incredibly shitty overpriced food on the strip. It's kind of crazy

It is incredible how much the city can pound suckers and they don't come away hating it.

People who choose Denver 

Acorn is really, really good.  Sushi Den and that guys other places have quality that you shouldn't be able to get in the middle of the state (very reasonable happy hour).  UNCLE and Euclid Hall are two of my favorite casual spots.

re Denver: Hop Alley is maybe the best meal i've ever had at a restaurant. just go with a couple other people and order like 6 things. incred.

let me add Q House to the denver recommendos. not quite as best as hop alley, but still pretty best

I'm going to share a PM from @WonderMeal in unedited form. It might be out of date but it's probably pretty good.

Rusty-

Glad to see you're coming to NOLA. It's a land of EMAW and delicious everything. Here's a guide to New Orleans that I send to all friends and goEMAW elites who are coming to the city.

The fact that you are planning a meal at Jacque Imo's is a good sign. Tips: they take reservations only if your party is 5 or more, and as of last week they were currently closed for the summer. I have no idea when they're reopening, so be sure to call first. (Lots of nice places are closed for a few weeks during the summer, so I would call every place before you go.)

Basically, just don't take any of Wacky's advice and you'll be fine.

TY everyone!

New Orleans is so overwhelming to me, because there's so many damn awesome places to eat, drink, and listen to music, but you just can't make it to all of the hot spots in one trip.

[Saulbadguy]

haven't read but just going to say NYC and leave it at that
