How much money do you guys spend eating out per year? Some of you say you've been to all of these different restaurants all over the country. I feel like I could easily drop $10K a year if I were to dine all over the city multiple times a week.
My fiancee always criticizes me for not being "experimental" enough when it comes to food. Well, it's always easy to "experiment" when you're experimenting with someone else's money. I would eat every cuisine from every city in the world if I had women picking me up in luxury cars and picking up the tab afterwards.
I eat out a lot actually. Divorced so cooking for one doesnt happen often.
I spent a good 15 years traveling to major cities a few days a week. I ate out on expense accounts. Developed a great liking for many types of foods, always sought the new place whatever. Much easier when someone else is paying the bill and still travel quite a bit, not as much gladly but even when home eat out quite a bit.
In the last 10 days have ate dinner at:
Amis in Philly
Han Dynasty in Philly
CS Factory in KOP(my young daughter loves it there)
Pub and Kitchen in Philly
Locanda Verde Manhattan
Cercel Rouge Manhattan
Twenty Manning in Philly
Havent traveled out of the area in a couple of weeks. In Boston next week and SF the week after so will be sure to indulge while there
Give it up New Yorkers the crowd has spoken, LA and SF have better Chinese than New York, oh yeah and about the the whole ingredients thing being shipped, there are quite a few ingredients grown in CA and for the ingredients being shipped guess what port most of it comes through?
How do you even know where your food is coming from? Barbados produces some of the best sugar in the world and yet its citizens do not eat any of it. We ship all of our sugar to England, Canada and the States and then import the crappy stuff from Guyana.

i just did a quick, unscientific, rough tally. I'd figure about $12k/year.
It is somewhat true. The best Chinese and Viet ive had was in SF. Not here. Food quality is better out there because a lot is grown locally.
Im sure everyone knows how much better the food quality is in Europe to the States too. Norcal and Italy have similar Med climates. So its no surprise the food quality is tops.

There are parts of China that are closer to NYC than either West Coast City.
In addition, the Port of Newark handles a lot of shipping, a lot of which is from China. Whether it gets shipped by land or air, it really doesn't matter that much because there would only be a few hour time gap anyways.
