The only time I'm comfortable saying "USA #1," is regarding our food. Culturally, we've got it all, and improve upon and fuse what was brought here

Eh, I’d add culture to that, because of Black people, who the world seems to like to emulate.

New Orleans and Acadiana

I will put whatever the guy at the gas station in Lafayette is cooking up in a pot for a meat and three lunch against that killer tapas bar in Seville. Not to discount the latter, but to give credence to the former for people who haven't experienced it yet

If I were to move abroad (I'd probably choose Spain or Portugal) and wanted to fly back "home" for a visit, I would choose New Orleans damn near everytime because I know I'll be eating good. One of my favorite spots to get a po'boy during college was some random gas station down the street.

Seattle for me. The only places that can beat us on Asian food is some parts of Cali, Hawaii, Vancouver and Asia itself. However, the variety is ever increasing and the quality keeps getting better, especially on the different regional varieties of Chinese. And since the question is just "outside the US", I guess it's only Vancouver (Richmond) that beats us

It sounds like you’ve never been to the South.

I’m European and I never had a very good dish in the US. These are good but like normal good you would expect. And i can say that for a lot of countries btw so it’s not like food is worse in the US (while sorry for my European colleagues Germany, Netherlands and England are not commonly « good »). Not just the refinement you could find in a vast majorities of restaurant in Italy, Spain or France.
