Sounds right. 3 million foreign born (in L.A. County alone, more than the entire population of the city of Chicago) are eating at the countless ethnic eateries in the city...because they want to look hot.

The exits that way.
Whoa, easy there!!!!
You totally misinterpreted was I was getting at!
I'm actually going to moving to LA at the begining of next year and I can't wait!
Don't get me wrong I love deep dish pizza and barbecue. Chicagoans love eating and drinking.
However, in terms of an exciting city, with a great social scene, I put a high premium and priority on a place where eating healthy, and trying to look your best is highly valued!
Chicago being a midwestern city, is more about eating hearty, filling meals, and honestly it does affect the general abundance of eye candy. Not that I'm a shallow, sexist guy. But in Chicago slim-figured women are a smaller percentage than in LA, and therefore they get more attention, and act a little more stuck up because of it.
Not that there aren't stuck up women in LA, but lets be honest, what is considered an "8" in Chicago is a "5" or "6" in SoCal.
I'm shocked that Chicago isn't taking names in this poll. Chicago isn't the best in a lot of things, but there is one thing that Chicagoans like to do, and that's eat. It currently has some of the best ranked restaurants in the country/world, and ranks up with NYC, SF, and New Orleans for biggest food cities. And the argument about LA's diversity fueling ethnic cuisine can also be said about Chicago.
Sorry LA, you'll win in other things, but not this... That's not to say that LA isn't a great restaurant city, but rankings and polls are overwhelmingly in favor of Chicago. Let's look quantitively...
