I will give you that obviously you guys crush us in the Cajun food scene, however in the overall cuisine and ethnic cuisine scene the NYC/Jersey area is hands down the best in the continental United States and one of the best in the entire world. NYC is a world city at the level of Rome, Paris, London, etc. A lot of the top chefs in the entire world are trained in NYC and come from all over to open up restaurants here. We are also a melting pot of all immigrants who bring their cuisine here and we have the freshest food as we are a major import area via our airports and ports (Port Newark, JFK, ETC). For example, just the other day I had fresh, wet Mozzarella that was flown into JFK from Italy that day! (Paid a fortune for it too)
