I would like to visit Tokyo for the food. I can't imagine ever being able to afford it though. Otherwise, New York is my favourite food city. The variety is astonishing. I love Fairway. There's nothing even remotely like it here in London.

I've never been to New Orleans but from everything I've heard I'd be very happy visiting there even if all I did was stuff my face. I have been to Tokyo a few times and as interesting and amazing as it is, I would still be really happy if on a return trip all I did was eat eat eat! NYC is a great food city and I'm glad to live here.

I haven't travelled much, but I would rather say Paris or Bangkok (eating in the streets)...

Buenos Aires. Really, all over Argentina- but Buenos Aires has the greatest variety.

It really depends on what I feel like eating at the time. But on the whole, I think L.A. is really strong and sometimes overlooked. Sandwiches, burgers, donuts, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food there are all so good. Too bad about all the driving. But if I had to choose just one place, I'd say Seoul. A city I really want to visit for food alone is Paris, for a ham and cheese sandwich and a hot chocolate, among everything else.

Bangkok, Saigon, NYC

Saigon, closely followed by Jeonju and Seoul and Bangkok, in that order.

NOLA, its cheap eats and street food beats Paris', hands down. For expensive I love Strabourg, and I've only had one bad meal in SFO, and I lived there for 25 years.

Mexico City. Everything from the street food to the high end restaurants were amazing.

Gosh, this is a hard question. Paris, New York, Bangkok and Mexico City would all be tops for me. But SF is great too.

great question - without any attempt at trying to be definitive here are the ones that have really made a lasting impression:
I agree with megnut, Bangkok was truly revelatory for me
Singapore - one vast food mart
NYC
Paris
Guadalajara, Mexico City and Oaxaca
San Francisco
Seattle
Philadelphia
Vancouver
Chicago
Montreal
Los Angeles

Hmm, so far, I would say San Antonio and Florence, Italy. Atmosphere plays a big part in my enjoyment of restaurants, and good outdoor seating always scores big points in my book ;}

Really great answer before, but i would say: Montreal, Chicago, New York, San Sebastian, San Francisco and more.

Not sure, but it's not Paris (no burritos).

While it is possible to find bad food in Bologna or Florence Italy, you really have to work at it.
Even a slice of pizza near a train station can be transcendent.
NOLA in the US, probably.

NYC, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo
