I'm not sure where Atlanta fits in this picture, but it's somewhere around that of Houston, maybe a bit stronger due to all the Miami transplants that live in that city.
No it isnt. Atlanta's Caribbean population is a lot larger than Houston's except for Cubans which Houston has a lot more of. Atlanta gets way more transplants from New York and Im sure thats part of it.

Atlanta's Jamaican and Haitian populations are between 5-7x larger than Houston's.

No. That's stretch. We're talking about black Caribbean.


But, let's talk about food.

It isnt a stretch. Its statistically accurate.

I definitely wish Houston had a Ponce City Market like Atlanta; I love that place!

Ever been to the Conservatory downtown? That would probably be the closest from a food standpoint. Its not as big as Ponce Market though...

Downtown Houston will be home to three food halls by 2019.

A 20,000 sq foot one is suppose to open next year called finn hall.

Finn Hall at the Jones on Main

The other food (chef) hall will also open and is currently under construction.

Bravery Chef Hall

Also, Greater Houston is adding more Asian food options with the Katy Asian Town development.

Its nice for the people out there, but its going to be hard to compete with whats on Bellaire for those of us in the city. My one beef with Houston is Korean and Japanese food. It is subpar. Houston does have exceptional Chinese and Vietnamese food of course. Houston also has good Thai, Malaysian, and Indonesian food. Houston has one decent Japanese spot with Izakaya Wa, but we need more!

Atlanta does pretty good with Japanese: brushatl

But we excel with Korean: HoneyPig Atlanta | 2017 New

My biased favorites from both categories.
