    Why make it a contest? I think both coasts, as well as the other regions of America, have their wonderful regional cuisines that can't be found elsewhere. That is part of what makes America unique and special. :drinker:

    how awesome your food is in the US is indirectly proportional to how far away from New Orleans you are.

    West Coast. Hands down.

    And why? Real Mexican food for starters.

    lol @ mexican food and west coast. Maybe in deep southern cali close to Mexico. But come here, let's show you what tex mex is all about.

    And that's where I live, so? Besides, Texas wasn't one of the options.

    The southern states should be in contention for best food. Seriously, BBQ in a lot of the southern states, tex mex, and then cajun/creole in NOLA.

    It was a discussion I was having with someone about the west coast and east coast specifically.

    And lots of great microbreweries with excellent food.

    Don't even get me started on wines of the region. :)

    And on top of that, "Tex Mex" is not anywhere NEAR real Mexican food. Flour tortilla enchiladas?? CORN in the salsa? Ppppfffffft! :laugh:




    ...No.

    ...No.

    Tex mex is a different style of mexican food. Never tried to be real mexican food, hence the name.

    Besides, we have a lot of awesome REAL mexican here too.

    Hell yea! Whenever I travel...as much as I love the local foods...it's always great to come home to an amazingly prepared medium rare steak & a baked potato. It seems nobody does rare meat like we do here in Chicago!
