I've recently visited both cities, and found that both of these cities are relatively underrated. While New Orleans has its own style (Creole and Cajun) which it does very well, Houston has not only the mismash of immigrant foods, but its starting to develop its own regional style.

How would you compare both of them?

I wouldn't say they're underrated (Especially New Orleans). Like you said New Orleans has it's own style that's very popular and internationally renown. On the other hand Houston has the diversity of cuisine on it's side and many many more types of foods to choose from. I'll go with Houston.

New Orleans is the best place in the world to eat New Orleans and Louisiana food, of course, but it's pretty one-dimensional compared to Houston.

New Orleans has the best regional cuisine in the country hands down.

But Houston is just so much more diverse than NOLA. Id go with Houston as the better food city overall.

New Orleans underrated? No.
Houston? I would say so.

I would say Houston, just by diversity of food options. Because it and New Orleans are in the same region, Houston has the same food that New Orleans has, but of course, New Orleans does it better, since New Orleans is more one dimensional.

It's a different deal being a tourist for a weekend in New Orleans and, say, living there and coming around to the idea that you want something other than Louisiana food to eat.

Yeah because there's nothing but Cajun food in New Orleans.

Not to say it doesn't exist, but we're comparing New Orleans' other offerings against Houston here.
