Atlanta
There's nigs

My town is full of spics so the food is all Mexican food, but at least it's OK quality

>>14423152
>Dallas
Nothing to hate. It's all good here, baby.

>>14423152
One Mexican restaurant (actually two but one just took the recipes from the other and undercuts the price a bit) and one Italian restaurant. Everything else is chains.

>>14423213
What kind of sauce is that?

>>14424121
suzuki sauce

>>14423152
>T*ronto
Legitimately no complaints, outside of the expectation of tips still existing when servers make at worst a dollar below $15 minimum wage

St Louis most notable contribution to food is actually the pointersaurus

Lobsters are cheap if you buy them at the grocery. Everything else is overpriced here and there isn't any good pizza anywhere.

Memphis. Barbeque is good, but other than that, food's pretty terrible.

>>14424191b
Hay Market Pizza is good pizza by the slice. You got Pizzeria Regina in the North End.

>>14424162
Yeah. You can pretty much find anything you could think of here at any price point. I lived in NYC for 3 years and honestly prefer Toronto's food scene just cause it's physically easier to access (cause smaller city) but same amount of culinary diversity.

NYC faggots, tables all seated next to each other and no real reason to be there unless with a girlfriend, and their all too stupid to realize it. They love it because they're look at me look at me types.

I have the misfortune of living near Seattle. It's all insanely overpriced. Like, even fast food. At least the tarayaki is good.

>>14423152
nyc again, celebrity types. The most useless cunts on the planet. They pay people to become celebrities, it's an investment for some people. Gotta go series 7 for these useless faggots. I'm not standing in line and they pay people to stand in line to draw up a crowd of idiots in certain places in NYC. FUCK NYC with di blasio and his bullshit masks and he's just a cunt for bloomberg that overrode the NYC charter for his third term by paying people off.

As fucked up as they are in NYC, they're all suckups to the bitch cuomo

Went to a 'night market' to see what it was like
>10 diffirerent flavors of chinkoid cook stalls turning the underground carpark of some big building into auchwitz
>entire place is crammed full of sliteye fucks staring at thier phones infront of every stall
>all the prices are retarded
>going death from the combined sounds of chinklets, island niglets, bugspeak and tiktok videos (apperently they have slit ears too, and can't use earphones)
I hate it and I hate that these "people" are allowed in my country

>>14424370
>Racism outside of /b/

>>14424372
they aren't people

>>14424338
Like nyc, mask wearing morons.

>>14423152
>Tell me about your city's food scene and why you hate it.
Mainly I hate it because there is close to none, despite this place having around 180k people.
It's mainly a bunch of kebab shops (we got quite a lot of turks), other fast foods joins and a few okay mid-level restaurants.

>>14424372
Racism is everywhere, especially in the hearts of men so stop fighting it.

Shitty city in the Netherlands.

There are like 15 sushi restaurants. Enough is enough open something interesting. I'm convinced they are just money laundering fronts for the triads or something.

>>14424372
It's 4chan. The people here are aging old losers don't get offended by anything.

Oklahoma, the fast food capital of the world.

>>14424429
Huge cope old bastard

Helsinki.

Its mostly OK I guess, still lacking some specific meal serving restaurants though. Biggest complaints are prices and the fact that most places really aren't that comfy.

It's pretty based if you ignore every recommendation you hear from someone under the age of 30.

>>14423213
Stop reposting this gay shit faggot

>>14423152
Philadelphia, PA:

1. Pizza is subpar despite large Italian community and proximity to the best pizzerias (Trenton style pizza is GOAT)
2. Everythings becoming brooklyn-ified, by that I mean drug addled whites take popular working class dishes and hock them as "gourmet" or "artisanal" and charge 4x what they are worth. Examples:
i. the most popular "dim sum" is a joint run by whites in a trendy area and isnt even dim sum, just chinese food with some pork buns and a few dumplings. very expensive for what you get
ii. most popular pizza joint is some snooty fuck place that charges $22 for their cheapest pie. they also do "artisanal hoagies"

fuck if i had more time id list more garbage. it isnt all bad though, we have very good mexican and vietnamese here.

>>14423152
Practically nonexistent. We have a couple of decent burger places and one hipster vegetarian pizza place. The rest is overpriced chain restaurants and takeaways who serve drunk pikey slop.
The only genuinely excellent restaurant is an independent surf 'n' turf steakhouse but they're closed right now. There are some great traditional gastropubs in the surrounding villages though.

>>14423152
I live in a relatively big town in Brazil and there is a lot of fish in here, usually from rivers
Its really great and I cant find anywhere else
I lived in Europe but since corona hit I came back just to stay with my family, and oh boy I missed this fish so much

>>14424641
Why does St. Louis try so hard to claim everything? Why is it such a try-hard city in general?

>>14424667
It doesn't really have a good claim to fame outside the arch. Cucked on jazz by New Orleans, cucked on food by Chicago/Memphis, its sports teams are boring, etc.

Trying hard is all they have.

Columbus, Ohio

>trendy man child restaurants: sandwiches, burgers, pizza, "mexican"
>german district that has the only remaining culinary identity in this sub par city

My whole state has no culinary identity. Cincinnati chili is really good, but you should just make it yourself instead of going to skyline. If you ever are stuck in Columbus go to Plank's pizza on Parsons Avenue. They have the best pizza in the state. It is unique. Imagine a german style pizza. Fantastic. It is a shame the restaurant will die once that crazy bastard Tommy kicks the bucket. Bless that man.

>>14423152
Bryan/College Station area. It's just a college town and 3/4s of everything is just some version of fried food. Even for Texas, the tex-mex scene is pretty horrible. Good authentic interior Mexican food tho, if you don't mind eating in a strip center and know a little spanish.

>>14423152
Toronto's food scene is LITERALLY the only thing I don't hate about this urban trash heap of a city. Gonna grab some Ethiopian food later.

>>14424375
they don't wanna hear this but it's the goddamn truth

>>14424508
nigger almost every non white store here is a money laundering scheme. have you There are way way way too many late night small stores run by turks to make it even remotely believable that they're not all fronts for money laundering.

>>14423152
Small shitty orthodox town on the coast of the Mediterranean sea.
About only 3 big food places that people order from. One sells tortilla wraps, one's a bar that also makes good burgers, one is an Asian restaurant adapted to the local taste.
Everything is overpriced, and not quite good if you order a delivery.
The good thing is that I found a caravan near a butchers shop that sells a pita with grilled chicken or all kinds of offal for 5USD. That's considered cheap here.

>>14424788
>If it's non-white it's money laundering!
>No way anyone can enjoy anything that's "non-white!"

>>14424667
They're basically a third world warzone at this point. I think we can give them toaster raviolis.

Tokyo
Apart from Japanese food (which is bland ad) every other national food is bad, over priced, or you have to travel to the arse end of nowhere to get it, apart from maybe burgers

Minneapolis
It’s shit. Mostly soulless hipster cosmopolitan restaurants with a few exceptions. St. Paul has far better options.

>>14424586
the b8 is strong

>>14423152
problem is that any american city is full of wiggers who think that their bland and uninspired copycat concoctions are "unique"

Just look at the picture: dry mozzarella, bbq, a knockoff of an NY pizza, potato chips, and vanilla brownies
Literally nobody goes to st.louis and thinks about anything on that picture (except for the cardinals)

The only exception is Hawaii/Alaska and maybe NY. Everything else is just an interchangeable shopping mall.

central new jersey
great food (lots of portuguese, italian, and puerto rican cuisine among others) but i'm vegan so most of it isn't an option

Austin here
Dallas is okay, but it's a matter of searching it out. Houston is better for finding good ethnic fare. Dallas is just such a shit city to me, the only thing worth doing is eating there.

>>14423152
There's no good smokehouses in the city, there are some good chinky hot pots and kbbq

Fellow Philly anon. Bing bing dim sum is indeed trash I walk past it nearly daily.

>>14423152
My city does what most do, they take "exotic" dishes like ramen,pho, or even basic chicken dishes then upcharged it to hell and back all the while it taste like fucking shit.

Only been in Texas about a year (im in Austin) but so far, tex-mex. Its not that good. It also makes it a lot harder to just find a good "Mexican" place cause theres a chance its got a lot of texmex items or inspired foods anyway. Like ordering queso and chips and getting a large bowl of very thick yellow melted cheese. So many of the texmex items ive seen or tried seem to be "fuck up a mexican dish with something and then cover it in jack cheese".

Maybe ive just been to shitty places. Real texans please point me in the right direction to good tex mex if it exists. If not ill just keep tryjng to find good interior mexican places.

>Pittsburgh
The Strip District remains the sole bastion of actually decent food. Everything else is exactly as other anons described it. Copycat abominations made by trendy chefs looking to be Instagram famous instead of honing their craft.

It was absolutely delicious but I'm sad because the place that makes them doesn't care about their quality anymore. For the few past years all Zapiekanka's I get are burnt and smell of burnt oil. Now I just make them at home.

>>14423152
I miss getting a Gioias sub on the weekends or a cubano pizza from Pi, OP.

Buffalo
It's either complete shit, or pretty good- no middle-ground. There's only 1-2 good restaurants per cuisine in the area.

>>14427757
wtf is a cubano pizza?
Threre is a cubano or a pizza, but a cubano has nothing to do with a pizza.
What are you sick or something?

>>14427757
I get it now, cubano pizza for the california types that like to stand in line

>>14424667
They've been in a state of constant decline since 1950. At this point the people still living there need SOMETHING.

The ramen scene in Boston is pretty damn good. Thank Christ normies still haven't caught onto it yet

>>14427954
Missouri? Maybe they should have thought of something way before needing your "something"
Clearly bringing in h1bs, ragheads, and Ns didn't do it.

Melbourne
Quality / cost / speed of food mean nothing, you'll see good restaurants being closed down and replaced with trash all the time.
Every dickhead thinks he has what it takes to run an Italian restaurant, even some Italians.
Only restaurants in the city center buy fish from Vic market, 10km out and you're served month old frozen fish, and even that fish is crazy expensive.
Delivery is trash, expect 1 hour waits regardless of where you are. Despite the pandemic restaurant owners are too proud to offer delivery which will bankrupt them. Restaurants that offer delivery are making record breaking profits.

>>14427939
>>14427952
No you fag, you don't know what it is. It's just something a local pizza restaurant did for a bit based on a cubano. Mustard base, Cuban pork, ham, and pickles on a tavern style crust. This is from St Louis, not San Francisco, it's nothing to overthink.

>>14424331
>tables all seated next to each other and no real reason to be there unless with a girlfriend
Isn't it like that literally everywhere in the world? You're not supposed to go to a restaurant alone.

i live in nyc, you can find the best meal of your life and the worst of your life on the same block. once you find a few spots in your neighborhood it's unbeatable. also please don't bother replying anything regarding price. you think i don't know our prices are higher?

>food scene
lel.

This is regional NSW. Pretty much copypaste nearly everywhere you go. Pub food, chinese restaurants out the arse, some thai (nice one we got here actually), kebab shop, this one kinda interesting mexican restaurant, sushi eat-ins that keep going out of business here, the odd "trendy" cafe, couple of fish and chip shops. And of course all the usual fast food shit here.

Only real, true based boys will understand how good this place is

>>14424667

Its like any other city, the actual good restaurants aren't well known unless you're a local. That being said, they're still shit and I can't wait to leave this shithole and these goddamn niggers behind

>>14423152
Also STL anon here. I actually like the food scene here though, I guess it just depends on where you go. I don't mind Imo's, just sucks because I moved & I was pretty close to pi & used to get it delivered at least once a week. Our BBQ is pretty damn good, fucking hate St Louis style sauce though, but I don't do bbq sauce unless I'm making pork steaks. Some of the newer restaurants are really good, my favorite is grace meat +3. Coffee shops are decent although my favorite is ran & frequented by hipsters but the coffee more than makes up for it. Damn good beer scene (why you posted the worst one I will never know. Good Mexican on Cherokee street(la villasana is the shit) overall can't complain really.

No need to seethe, tastelet.

Nyc. Residential neighborhoods in Manhattan have the absolute worst restaurants. All the good shit is in the outer boroughs or fidi/ktown area. Pizza in Manhattan is also beyond trash all the good ones are in the outer Boroughs, the few that exist in Manhattan are insanely overpriced.

Jews and dog moms.

It's all greasy kebab. Every single restaurant. There's maybe 5 actual restaurants that serve decent food(that you pay an arm and a leg for so only special occasions) and about 10 shitholes that serve ""kebap"" or ""Chinese food"" or ""sushi"". None of those are owned by people from the origin country of said cuisine and are absolutely shit quality.

I didn't forget them at all. The ramen shop is good, but it isn't anything to brag about. The surrounding bakeries and shops I have not tried. The japanese market is good, but it gets overrun by hipsters and annoying youth that want to window shop instead of cook. COVID has made the place relatively unshoppable. The market has, alas, outgrown it's size.

>SF Gay Area
The city itself does have good food, but expect to pay for it. Literally fucking everything is expensive there. Even the tacos/burritos, which are massively overhyped and don't compare to what they make in SoCal.
There's also a fuckload of immigrants around the Bay so you'll find something you like, for instance Oakland has decent Eritrean places.

>>14423152

I live in Montreal so the food is trendy bistros that serve the most average food and drink for 2-3 times anywhere else. These places are always packed but once summer ends they usually close. The rumor the profits go up the owners nose. 37.50 for a quesadillas with a fancy meat. And 10.50 for a beer.

The other is the brand name franchises i.e. McDonald's and such. In the province of quebec everything needs to be in french so those that are still around survived the language bullshit or are super rich companies. Tons of American and international brands never come to quebec because of the french politics. And these places have little to no regulations so the food and drink is garbage.

>>14426756
Austin fag here
I like chekos, casita Guanajuato, ñoños tacos. I also like cazuelas on the east side even though it’s kinda trash because they’re open 24 hours wtf. Fonda San Miguel is great but expensive. Just go north of the university to find better and better actual Mexican, Vietnamese, and Korean food.

Over priced burgers that all try to imitate coastal US (?) style
So much chinese food
Kebab shops that are always sold out of falafel
Nothing, i repeat nothing is cheap
Not much diversity in actual fact, its all asian foods: no african, south american, European foods.

>>14426756
Do the Fonda San Miguel brunch buffet whenever they open up. Good way to get interior Mexican foods. It was like $50 a person, but you can load up on amazing food

Tex Mex is good, I just think Austin has poor choices when it comes to Tex mex. Trudys is the shining example of shitty Tex mex, I never liked it. I think Chuys is good, their jalapeño ranch is addicting.

I’m just gonna list off good Tex mex/taco places
Mexicans will probably give me shit but I love Tacodeli, the ingredients are fresh and I like the flavors

Cabo Bobs for burritos

Joes Cafe for old school Texas tacos

Valentinas Brisket Taco is the best taco I’ve had in Austin

Taco Joint for all the good memories of getting tacos in between classes, but the tacos are still legit

Man I miss Taco Joint. Also used to go there between classes since it was right behind the engineering building. For me, it was, 1 Potato egg and cheese, 1 fried fish taco and 1 street taco.

>>14424550
The number one takeaway from my time living in eastern PA was that inexplicably nobody there knows how to make a pizza that's better than so-so. It's like every pizza joint you go to is essentially sbarros, it's the same mediocre thin crust pizza with nothing remarkable about it. My whole time around Philly and up the whole way towards Allentown I was searching for a place that just made something in a really unique and quirky fashion (without it's "quirkyness" being that it was essentially some frozen pizza being passed off as freshly made pizza) and I maybe only succeeded on two occasions - one with a place that made a decent Sicillian, and one with a place that made a decent Grandma's pie with fresh basil, in a square, thinner crust but rich chunky sauce...

Most other places I've been you can find a pizza place with something unique about it, and I like the quirks, but eastern PA was just store after store of the same pizza over and over and over and over.

Mormon cooking is the stereotype of "White people don't season their food"
Almost all restaurants not run by foreigners literally don't season anything, and the average Mormon thinks ketchup is spicy. Even went to a Mexican restaurant owned and run by a bunch of Mormons, the taco meat wasn't even seasoned, it was just ground meat that was cooked in a pan. The salsa was also cooked, they literally heated up the salsa.
Moving to Utah made me miss the cooking in the south, Mormon cooking is so bland, they don't even know what they're missing.

Wish they had a restaurant scene like Calgary. Fucking dank

I have lived in Houston for a year after spending all of my life in San Antonio. Houston has a nice variety of food but San Antonio is such a shit tier city with Jalisco Taqueria #56 usually shut down after a year or 2. All the trendy stuff is centralized to one side of town and some parts of town have no restaurants outside of fast food

>>14437795
You forgot Takee Outee

>>14437810
Are you not from around here anymore? you know takee outee went out of business months ago, it's now thai tanic, a GREAT thai place. Honestly the Takee Outee chef went away, they told us, so I think that is why they closed. The food started getting really nasty

Almost every single sit-down resteraunt is the same clusterfuck of "Italian/American cuisine" or an American style burger joint. The impact of American cultural hegemony is very real where I live, which is in Scotland.

>>14437834
Whaaaaaaa??? I moved out of state a few years ago. Takee Outee was always a legendary joke of a restaurant.

>>14429605
UWS has lots of really good restaurants that arent too overpriced. Sushi Yasaka is top tier for very reasonable prices. UES is mostly overpriced garbage if you arent eating at a famous restaurant like Daniel but then it will be prohibitively expensive for most people. However 1st Ave has some good restaurants that aren't complete ripoffs. If you're really having trouble finding great food in Residential Manhattan then you aren't looking very hard. I can give you a list of UWS restaurants if you want.

>>14427252
Detroit style deep dish is not a large pile of sauce and cheese like Chicago style, it's very thick bread with a normal layer of sauce and cheese on top

Not him but there's really not many Italian places in Edinburgh...lots of good east Asian food but beyond that there's not much imo

Based, also moving to Chicago in a month
Walked down the street where my new apt is in wicker park and was amazed at the sheer density of decent-looking restaurants

LA here. We have a lot of good food, but most of it is expensive and everything that isn't requires driving in traffic for ages, paying out the ass for parking, and waiting in an hour long line for a table.
Surprisingly little is open late unless you're in one of the really hip neighborhoods.
Way too many short-lived food trends, we'll suddenly have 50 of the same type of restaurant pop up almost at once and then they're all gone two years later. (Nashville-style hot chicken sandwiches are the current meme.)
Decent BBQ is hard to find and overpriced as fuck when you do.
Indian food is mostly mediocre as hell compared to what I used to get in NorCal
Too much fusion bullshit
Every time you find a good place some LA Times writer will do a story on it a month later and then it gets overcrowded and goes to shit
Good affordable restaurants have been dropping like flies because rent keeps going up and up
Bar scene is pathetic compared to what you'd expect it to be

On the bright side our Japanese and Chinese food are based.

>>14424298
Like this Anon here, we've got barbecue all fucking day, every, single, fucking, day.
At least three major barbecue joints in such a small city that - if continues to grow at this rate - will become a fucking barbecue and bourbon megatropolis.

The only reason the barbecue is so popular here is because we cater to an endless supply of geezers. The hip folks are all over the downtown scene and emerging expansion of the east end. Granted, our food scene in general shares the statistic that states that we have more family-owned small-businesses than almost any other city in the country.

Melbourne has good African restaurants, I can think of a good handful in Footscray alone

Moved to Toulouse (SW of France) a few weeks ago, it's pretty varied, at least in the center. Most of the restaurants I went to were good, except some that probably cannot die because they're in super busy streets. Ironically the local, originally peasant food, specialties are mostly served by upscale restaurants.

>The Strip District remains the sole bastion of actually decent food. Everything else is exactly as other anons described it. Copycat abominations made by trendy chefs looking to be Instagram famous instead of honing their craft.
Fellow Yinzer here. You are 90% correct. There are some decent restaurants around the area but mostly centered around Lawrenceville and the Strip District.

My man you need to ditch the Joe's and try Arthur Bryant's if you want the good KC stuff

>Vancouver
Crazy good Chinese/Japanese/Thai/Korean/Indian/Asian ethnic options that totally dominate the scene alongside their western fusion half-breed spawn. Try a japadog if you ever visit! Surprisingly poppin' Greek options left over from the mafia days. A smattering of trendy vegan-type places, random immigrant wall-holes, and a few high-quality sit downs. You're basically out of luck if you want more than one good mexican, barbecue, breakfast, or burger place. The bakeries, ice cream shops, and dessert cafes are fucking good if that's your thing. Truck game weak for a city of this size.

Overall not really worth visiting for the food alone, but if you're here you won't have a bad time. Especially if you can use chopsticks.

>>14444734

>>14444740
Maybe if you're the sort of person who follows crowds. Lots of businesses here (including bars and clubs along with restaurants) prey on the student and immigrant populations by providing sub-par services for exorbitant rates. These places tend to rely on their unearned reputations, the ignorance of uninformed leadership, and the meekness of born-followers to stay in business. I'm sorry you had a bad time!

>>14444740

Trust me shithead I'm not poor, that's not the point. I live far away from there on purpose, doesnt mean I'm not very familiar with the city and its problems.

Vancouver (not just downtown) is a joke, and those who make the rules charge a premium for the opportunity to eat their shit with a smile. World class my ass.

>>14444844
I'm not really in a position to change any of that shit, but the large-scale problems facing Vancouver don't make my dinner taste any worse. As you alluded, there's a definite class of "haves" separate from the "have-nots" in this city, and if you throw your lot in with the "have-nots" then you're obviously in for a bad time. Instead of being stubborn, just figure out where the "haves" are eating. The essence of intelligence is adaptation anon

>>14423152
Rural/suburban Wisconsin.

Outside of chains, there are four types of restaurants: bars that have one or two fryers and a pizza oven, fancy banquet halls that also have bars, crappy, generic Mexican restaurants, many of which have bars or tequila lounges, and Chinese/pizza buffets. The food at most restaurants is general American cuisine (burgers, pizza, fries, etc...), with a few regional favorites like bratwurst and cheese curds. Most of it is pretty good overall.

The big draw though is year round Friday Fish Frys, with basically any sort of fish or shrimp imaginable beer battered and fried. Popular favorites include perch, walleye, cod, bluegill, catfish, and smelt (basically deep fried minnows). Fish fry platters are generally served with coleslaw, rye bread, and a choice of potato (french fries, American potato salad, German potato salad, maybe even mashed potatoes or sweet potato fries). Always pure kino.

Be that as it may, I actually agree with the sentiment that this city and its key, interrelated problems of homelessness, foreign money, and opiate trafficking, have grown worse with time. My entire point is in correspondence with this guy's (>>14444844), but my take on it is that these problems create a situation where some fairly nice things are available if you know where to look, whereas his and the predominant take (in this thread at any rate) is that these problems and the environment they create are not worth the few, generally inaccessible benefits that they entail

>>14444986
Well my counterpoint is that Vancouver is just a shithole, and should be avoided. I don't give a fuck if you personally enjoy stepping in shit, or take the out to perform CPR on a junkie while you're on your way to eat at a fancy restaurant with mediocre food, and think that it's a great city.
