Very interesting and I notice the usual Michelin starred restaurants, but I like seeing other places too.

Note: Forbes was previously known as the Mobil Guide, some of you may recall that. Mobil created the first five-star rating system and built up quite a reputation over the years, but then was acquired by Forbes, which continued the ratings under their brand.

Anyhow,

However, where the Mobil Travel Guide was aimed at the broad cross-section of the American traveling public, Forbes' ratings focus only on high-end travel. The Mobil guide used to have a separate three-star rating system for cafeterias, for instance.

Yeah…LA and Houston are both good Meccas and they are missing.

Food lists are subject. There is no way to quantify any of this. It’s all opinions.

I can't comment on the selection criteria, but the service in LA has always held its restaurants back from serious consideration.

Recalling what I said about Forbes vs. Mobil in post 2, I note that the only restaurant on the list in Pennsylvania is in the resort community of Laurel Highlands and that Philadelphia, which does have some serious high-end dining even after the end of Le Bec-Fin, has none at all.

And I would say that resort or tourist destinations are probably overrepresented relative to cities or business travel destinations on this list. I will wager that those two Rhode Island establishments are in Newport rather than Providence, for instance.

Rhode Island has really good food/culinary scene. I’m not surprised its up there twice honestly. I can’t imagine there is some built in pro-Rhode Island bias at Forbes…

Colorado Springs and Raleigh have 1 respectively. LA didn't make the list.

World renowned food mecca? They're not going to give a five star rating to a hot dog food cart, my man.
