New Orleans is the best

Every other US city is pretty similar overall

I have NO and SF in my top 3 as well. 1&2, actually. Beyond that, nothing stands out to me. Maybe Austin. ??

Yeah, I feel like NYC should be higher on my list, but I only had 36 hours there.

most everything is analogous anymore
LA
NY
Chi
LV

a restaurant group does well in one place and will carry on to a new city with the same concept

the mexican food in LA puts it at the top of my list
never been to SF

Is san Francisco just a sea food pick? I've never had an above average meal there.

No, everything I ate there tasted super good. Random stuff. Like a salad at a bar.

Outside of the obvious NYC, San Fran, I've had great luck with food in Cleveland, and san Diego.

I don't really get excited about new Orleans cuisine but I've had many a great meal there.

I guess I've never really fine dined in Las Vegas, except for my 21st birthday where my uncles took me to some belly dancing joint and we had a 5 course meal.

It's ranked in the top 10, bud. It shocked me too. Probably lots of good Mexican food and steak houses from what I remember when I lived there. Plus, Casa Bonita! :lol: :love:

The only city with unique food that I've been to is Miami.  Love that sh*t.

Fans of deep fried animal nuts?  I literally can't think of a good restaurant or cuisine in Denver

No. 4: Denver, CO

If major restaurant openings were the only criterion for a hot food city, Denver would be a shoe-in for a top 2017 slot. Nearly every established chef or restaurateur of the past several years either launched or is about to launch a new, landscape-changing hot spot. Case in point: James Beard awardees Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson debuted ?Tavernetta. Fellow recipient Jennifer Jasinski opened Ultreia. Nationally recognized innovators like Justin Cucci, brought us eye-popping penthouse tapas bar El Five, and Robert Thompson, opened a 32,000-sq.-ft. Punch Bowl Social in the control tower of the former Stapleton airport, of all incredible places. And that’s just to name a few.

Meanwhile, luxury and boutique hotels went up all over town anchored by splashy, ambitious destinations like Hearth & Dram, Citizen Rail, Quality Italian, Urban Farmer, Kachina and 20th-floor rooftop bar 54thirty. Still to come are The Ramble Hotel, home to NY-import Death & Co and the aforementioned Super Mega Bien, and The Source Hotel, expanding the groundbreaking RiNo food hall it’s named for. Speaking of food halls, Aurora’s Stanley Marketplace created a thriving outlet for acclaimed and breakout chefs and food producers in a former aviation factory; next year, Zeppelin Station will do the same on the RiNo light-rail corridor — not far from upcoming branches of Tyson Cole’s celebrated Uchi and Shake Shack.   

Yet major openings aren’t the only criterion. The executives at Slow Food named Denver the new home of international conference Slow Food Nations, held annually in July. The producers of Top Chef also decided to film Season 15 here. In fact, it was Tom Colicchio himself who observed that Denver’s strong network of cultural support would guarantee its future, nurturing the talents of tomorrow.

In short, as food towns go, the Mile High City has just hit the stratosphere.

Every single food item I've eaten in Denver the last 5 years has been between a 5 and 7 out of 7. Burgs, pizza, steaks, breakfast crap, Mexican, all just fantastic. Maybe I just pick well. The hipster fancy crap slyin phil likes doesn't interest me though, so maybe Denver sucks at that.
