Just to throw this out there, I would say Southwestern Louisiana and South Louisiana outside NO has better Cajun food and also more known. Could be wrong.

Yes, indeed. Correct you are. Someone mentioned Lafayette - only driven through but while I did someone I was with from NOLA educated me on cajun culture, where Lafayette is the hub. But still, I would presume and feel like I have experienced better cajun cooking in nearby NOLA than other major cities in this country.

Understandable. It's easier to say New Orleans than say Lafayette.
Speaking of Houston, it recently opened the very first US location of Il Mascalzone which is an authentic Italian pizza chain previously doing business in London. The owner is from Pesaro and plans to open another location in the city as well as in Miami.

interesting
I am actually looking forward to Big Gay Ice Cream from NYC opening here - selfishly because its all fro yo and gelato in my hood so a welcome addition a few blocks away. Which while not Italy Philly may actually have the best gelato in the US - still gelato here is just never as good as seemingly every corner in italy
Since cajun food and Los Angeles have been mentioned in this thread, I'm going to shamelessly plug my friend's New Orleans style deli and grocer that just opened here in Downtown LA, the Little Jewel of New Orleans. You LA forumers should definitely check it out...Markus can cook his ass off.
Website launches in a couple days (I'm still working on it) but here's a few other links:
Im pretty sure Philly is number one, you know why?
Philly is the only city where tourist and foodies actually go there for the food [Mainly Cheesesteaks]. (Minus all the five-four star restaurants and culture food it has [Water Ice, Scrapple, Pretzels, Cheesescake]
Everywhere else, people just go to the city first then find out about the food later on like going to Chicago..."I'm going to Chicago" -goes to chicago- "Oh wait, I heard about that Deep Dish pizza! Lets try it out"
"I'm going to Philly, I want a cheesesteak" -goes to philly- "Which one, Pat’s King of Steaks or Jim's Steaks??"
If you think this is wrong, tell me a city where tourist/people actually go there mainly for the food?
How high are you right now?

This man below has it right, you probably didn't have Cajun, or you did, doesn't matter. But the best will come from a old man with 6 teeth who lives next to a bayou.

Sounds great....The fact that DTLA has gone from food dessert to food mecca in less than 10 years is ASTOUNDING.
