Like I said before you can pay $50 fora bad meal in LA and $7 for a haute meal in New Orleans. I give the edge to NOLA- seafood, French, and overall taste.

I can also pay $7 or less for a "haute" meal in LA if you're willing to step out of the main tourist areas. Same in SF, NYC, Boston, Chicago...
I don't like seafood, and most French food isn't really to my palate, so LA wins this one by a nautical mile for me

"Haute cusine" means "high cuisine" and basically just refers to expensive high-end luxury establishments, so I'm not sure where one is eating at high-end restaurants(which in itself usually constitutes expensive) for $7 or less in any of those cities(or really in New Orleans either). I can maybe eat "haute cusine" in some cheaper places in Latin America for around $10--but in the US? New Orleans is much cheaper than many major cities, but I'm usually paying at $6-7 just for a po'boy or maybe a bowl of red beans and rice and a drink at a little hole in the wall.
You can eat good food for $7 or less if you're going to really cheaper ethnic restaurants or food trucks or that sort of thing and not ordering very much, but the price of food is fairly high in US cities. Even at food trucks in Los Angeles(or food carts in Portland), it's usually at least $7 for lunch. Sure you can eat tacos and burritos for cheap, but often even burritos run about $5-$6...
So I'm not sure if people have a different definition of "haute" than what I'm familiar with.
Los Angeles has more diversity in food options. I could eat Creole cusine here, and all other types of cuisine in LA. You get tired of Jambalaya and Po Boys after a while.

First of all, you can't eat creole food anywhere outside of south LA, either the cook is cooking off some recipe book or your area doesn't have the right ingredients. You don't know what you're talking about if all you think is offered is Creole and Cajun food. You'd have to be a fool to think our amazing chefs here don't know how to cook other dishes.

I don't think New Orleans is all one thing at all, but its doesn't come close to LA in variety of food offerings.

I'm sure there are a few places in the world that aren't South Louisiana where you can eat good, authentic creole food. Also I initially read that as South L.A.
