The East Asian food is overall better in the Bay Area. but outside of that, I'm going Houston due to the more diverse range of options from various continents.
I voted Houston overall but you are absolutely correct about Italian food. San Francisco has some of the best Italian food in the country. Houston is better than you'd expect but not at the same level.
SF has great Italian food (by west coast standards). The East Coast still dominates the European food niche in quality the way the West Coast dominates East Asian food.
Houston food scene is a melting second only to NYC and probably LA & Chicago.
I’m a little worried about you guys picking Houston. Just rooting for the underdog, are we?
I wouldn't really call Houston an underdog.
San Francisco is obviously a great food town, but ask anyone who has spent time there and Chicago which is better for food and they'll tell you Chicago as they try to contain their laughter. More so for L.A. and NYC.
Houston is obviously much larger than SF and in a location where more cultures would intersect, so no, there's no natural reason to assume SF as the favorite.

When it comes to legacy cities vs sunbelt ones (especially Houston) city data tends to go for the legacy cities.
Houston is one of those Rodney Dangerfield cities on here. That poster who posted clean sweep for SF, she would sooner vote for a turd than for Houston.
City Data polls are fun. But so many posters don't really know enough to vote or simply vote for the ones they like, against the one they don't like or for the ones they assume would be better.
It's clear the expert on FL knows nothing about the choices saying she is worried that people are voting Houston lol.

Houston is fairly weak in Italian and European food in general. This is another area where there might be parity or the Bay Area could even win.
