No. A list of the best food cities in the country should include New York and New Orleans at the very least.
Edit: Also, what are the criteria? Michelin stars, food diversity, number of high end restaurants, local specialties, markets, ...?
The article spells out the criteria which it mentions things like organic farms and Whole Foods and lack of chain-stores/prevalence of independent restaurants being major ones. If that were the case, I don't think New York would be amongst the top. While they are into organic stuff there, it isn't big enough as a whole to make NYC or other major cities not on the list be amongst the top. I wish it were though. There are also lots of chain stores there, as well as a lot of independent one but not an unbelievably high ratio of them.
On a per capita basis of extremely high rated world class restaurants, I agree with Napa being number 1.
Been there did that. Good, but nothing to rave about. I like the Hudson Valley. Excellent Food at prices people can afford, without many of the elite pretensions that you find in Napa/Yountville
LOL...Maybe you don't rave about it, but just about evey restaurant critic under the sun does.
Obviously we're each entitled to our own opinions.
Funny. Your opinion of Napa is my opinion of Hudson Valley.
CIA is in both, thus reflecting the culinary culture of both locations.
