Houston may crack the top 10, but it is far from being part of the "big four," to virtually everyone but the most delusional Houston boosters. Many would challenge New Orleans as well. Personally, I'd tend to place New Orleans in about 5th or 6th.
LA? Chicago? Philly? Boston? Several places come to mind before Houston does.
Why Philly and Boston? Just wondering. I would say Houston is at their level if anything and they are interchangeable.

I would put Houston above both although its pretty close between Houston and Boston.
Personally, I think Houston is number 5 or 6 in the US after NYC, Chicago, San Fran, LA, and maybe DC/Northern VA. I dont even put New Orleans in my top 10 nor Austin (frankly, although I enjoy Austin, I dont get the fuss about Austin food wise). New Orleans is a very special food city, but it doesnt variety is more important than being unique for food to me. Thats where NOLA falls short.
Are you from LA? Are you sure your not from the burbs, IE, OC, etc.
Im from Torrance and I went to UCLA. I lived in West LA, the Mid-Wilshire area, El Segundo, and Garden Grove before leaving the state.
Its irrelevant anyway. Although the best Korean food is indeed in the city of LA in K-Town along Wilshire and Vermont, the best Chinese food in the LA area is NOT in the city of LA. Its in the San Gabriel Valley. Ever been to Monterry Park or Rosemeade?
Sounds like you may not even know where the good Chinese food in the LA area actually is.
Pretty ridiculous thread title. Who says NYC is "hands down" in this department? For day to day eating, L.A. is superior to New York City IMO.
I also don't agree with putting NYC as the undisputed food city king by default. It's highly debatable and NYC shouldn't be automatically put on a pedestal in this type of discussion.
