I have two in mind. First must be Budapest where you can find just about any European cuisine in fine form at a good price. It goes without saying that Hungarian dishes rank very high in the world's culinary scene and have influenced many others with their excellent pakprika. The Jews who have been dispersed from there have carried their soups and others courses worldwide. Secondly, and don't laugh, I would say I always look forward to visiting Houston, TX. There you can find true southern dishes, excellent Tex-Mex, and transplanted Cajun and Creole offering abound as well. During the mid-70s a mass migration also brought in lots of midwestern dishes.

Montreal or Toronto - they are just as diverse as NYC, just as cheap, but with half the pretension or crazy food fads.

London, hands down, and certainly not for the traditional English fare. I've travelled extensively and never eaten better French, Chinese, Japanese, or Italian. Expensive, yes, but worth every pennny, er, I mean pence!

Believe it or not, Houston, Texas is a great food town, which I never would have believed before I moved here.

OMG... Vancouver, BC, hands down.
The most awesome seafood anywhere, and plenty of restaurants to rival NYC, at WAY better prices ;-)
It's one of our top three, after NYC and Paris.

Barcelona!

Philly. Ask anyone who has been there. Even Ed has his favorites there.

Providence and Montreal! I can't wait to get back!
Providence: Al Forno, Olga's Cup and Saucer, La Laiterie.

I can't believe no has said Florence, Italy. I have had some of the most memorable meals of my life there.

The food in Rome was some of the best I've ever had. Don't forget to
add Boston to the list.

New Orleans...next question please!

Has to be Bologna, truly the best Italian cuisine. Can't believe no one has mentioned this city nick-named "La Grassa"(def. The Fat). for its rich cuisine.

I enjoy Boston but it's been years since I've been there so I'm not sure what the restaurant situation is like these days! A friend went recently though, and loved it!

I think DC is very underrated. Not my favorite food city, but it certainly allowed me to become the food lover I am now. I used to skip class in high school and go check out new ethnic restaurants, ok that's probably not that normal.

Berlin and Barcelona
(and I dont even like German food!)

New Orleans.
spanklin at 12:30PM on 08/09/07
New Orleans and DC (as far as ethnic food goes...especially Ethiopian)
emilyo at 1:31PM on 08/09/07
thank goodness nobody has said Portland, Maine....we are the MOST overrated restaurant city in the US, so tourists take note, go elsewhere for really great food!
Seriouspoorcook at 1:46PM on 08/09/07
OSAKA.....OSAKA....OSAKA . Any questions?
gwcafe at 3:47PM on 08/09/07
Portland Oregon is very tasty and relatively cheap.
alexb at 1:02AM on 08/10/07
Montreal blew my mind - especially the Portuguese barbque and all the french pastries and cheeses.
I even liked poutine!

Istanbul and Philadelphia

Montreal! Besides all the great restaurants the Jean-Talon farmer's market is awesome.
Chau at 3:43PM on 08/10/07
Outside US: Sydney, Singapore, and most places in Brazil (for grilled meat).
Inside the US: Kansas City (both Missouri and Kansas) for barbeque, tie of Portland and Bar Harbor area for seafood, Omaha and Des Moines for all things pork. Clinton Twp, MI - my Mom's kitchen - sorry folks, she doesn't take reservations.

Sorry Michigander, but if it's in Australia you're looking... Melbourne has Sydney well beat... Melbourne has a truly multicultural flavour... the best Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Middle Eastern food in the country. And after eating these foods here in the U.S., we do the best Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and MIddle Eastern foods in this country also! Perhaps I'm biased... or maybe I'm just passionate about Melbourne food... in Australia, Melbourne has the reputation as the food capital.... don't believe those Sydneysiders... they don't know what they're missing!
