Each of these other 3 has a more international population, and thus might have a wider range of food options from around the world, for their locals, and also a wider distribution of chains from various parts of the country, and also probably more restaurants period, due to population size.
But, New Orleans is the only city in the US I would plan a trip to where literally my primary purpose in the visit is food. Also, unlike the others, New Orleans has a significant number of dishes you think "New Orleans" when you think about them, and they aren't found in vast quantity, if at all anywhere else. Plus, New Orleans has a healthy mix of regions of the south incorporated into it's cooking, as it is kind of at a center point between parts of the south. So, definitely New Orleans.
I've seen a number of posters saying Miami deserves to be included, and Miami is a great city for foodies, but the reality is that restaurants from various Latin American nations, and New York style delis and pizzerias is far more ubiquitous than Southern Cooking, so it doesn't really qualify IMO.

Try the food in Houston. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Substitute New York style delis, for West Indian food, it's not just all Latin Amarican.
Or has no tangible response at all. It's an absurd supposition.
Statesboro. Better BBQ and soul food.
