The only thing I can't get in Houston that I miss from living in Cali are "It's it's" and all you can drink sake at Coach Sushi (Oakland).
This is mostly hyperbole, but Houston is no joke on the food tip. I lived in the bay for a couple of years, can't really speak on LA, but I'd take Houston food over almost anywhere in the US. There might be other cities that do one or two things better than here, but few other localities offer as many great cuisines done well.

From Bon Appetit:
Is Houston's multicultural dining scene the country's best-kept food secret? I knew the city has its share of good Mexican, solid BBQ, and cool places with big-name chefs at the stove. But I didn't expect to find strip malls filled with the best Southeast Asian food I've ever eaten, Indian-inspired chicken wings that won a spot in my bar food hall of fame, or a $14 value meal of pig's-ear cake and braised pork cheeks. Who knew that, dish after dish, I'd be scribbling "Wish I could get this back home!" in my notebook?

New York, CA?
England. I'm pretty sure they just washed the original York and repackaged it though.
Awready
"You can catch us at Pappadeaux's eating steak and shrimp"...
off the top of my head la prolly destroys houston in the korean food dept.
Damn, them hoes are good! They should be everywhere.
We have a cluster of great Korean food in the Longpoint Rd. area, but I think LA probably does get the win on this one. Purely speculation on my part, I've never eaten Korean in LA except from a taco truck.
Yes.
He was probably referring to this airline, I don't know, but it doesn't look very safe...
i think it can easily be argued that there are better options for all of these outside of houston. though i think a case can be made for the bbq and maybe crawfish, but even the crayfish can be argued over in the other gulf states.
Find another place that excels at all of these, not just one or two and I'll happily eat there.
just NOwhere near the same up here.
:roar: :roar: :roar:
like i said earlier arguments can be made for bbq and crayfish, but that is just up to regional tastes in things.
Cool, so CA can only compete with Mexican food, huh? And you've had to create some kind of horrible Frankenstein of States to compete with a single city. That said, I stand by my original premise.
Stop lying, there's no BBQ in CA and I'm not paying $20/lb for crawfish there either. Also, again, New York isn't in CA.
i don't know about LA, but you get a lot of food for your buck in houston.
also, houston's always in the runnin for fattest city in america.
