"I like food" California, Georgia..there's good food in both. Why restrict yourselves? I thought food was supposed to bring us closer together, not pry us apart?
Tell you what; give me some of that down-home cooked Southern food and I'll cook up some tasty Californian food (whatever that is?) and we can both enjoy.
Quantity, quality (freshness), and variety. At all levels, California excels. Not sure why you all are trying to simplify the argument to "quantity only."
For instance, assume San Diego is the equivalent of Atlanta, even though it is over twice its size. Then you would have San Francisco and Los Angeles to deal with. San Francisco the equivalent to NYC as a foodie town in many eyes. Then we have Los Angeles, an alpha level city with every type of cuisine on earth imaginable.
Top this off with several of the top wine producing regions on Earth. Where is the comparison?
And I'm trying hard to be as respectful as possible.
Have you noticed that I haven't claimed one to be any better than the other? I'm arguing the point that the same thing can be found anywhere almost. I don't know why you all are even arguing on which is better when it is all subjective.
To be real though, just because there are more options of something doesn't mean that the best of each option is represented.
Longer growing season than Georgia (The Nations agriculture powerhouse)
No cities in Georgia have a Michelin Guide, two in California do (SF and LA)
Home to the nations finest wine producing regions
Pacific Ocean for fresh seafood
Direct Link to Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan
Greater Ethnic Diversity
From personal experience I can say San Francisco is actually one of my favorite cities to eat on earth and tied for favorite in America with NYC.
LA doesn't have a Michelin Guide, there's only NYC and SF/Wine Country.
That is not true due to climate. Almost everything edible can be grown in California but not in other parts of the nation. There's no commercial market in Georgia for many of the items grown in California because the climate in Georgia and Florida can not produce these crops. BTW, California is the largest rice producer & grows more cotton than any other Southern state. Even peaches and other pit fruits are grown in California more than any other state. Artichokes can not be grown successfully outside California & the Mediterranean. California produces more food for the world than anywhere else in the world.
The California diet emphasizes fresh and organic foods. Fried foods are shunned.
Not true. Any place with a Mediterranean climate can grow them as well, this includes South Africa and New Zealand.
I really like the KFC next to Ralphs on Lido Island..the best food ever..KFC.Taco Bell in Laguna Beach on PCH across from Holiday Inn is tremendous..just ask for the white Boy Special without the white boy sauce
LA doesn't have a Michelin Guide, there's only NYC and SF/Wine Country.
Yes they do, since 08
