If it's French food in France versus Italian food in Italy, I'll take French.

If it's French food in the USA vs. Italian food in the USA, then I'll go Italian.

As CD has suggested, I think it's tougher to find good French food here in the States, and the places that are "French" aren't necessarily all that French.  But I can find good Italian food all over.

That's one thing I miss Chicago for - we had some excellent French food choices. Excellent food options overall, really.

Things I miss about Chicago is a very short list.

Yeah we even have several really good French places here in Austin.

But there are far more really good Italian places.

That's everywhere. So many more Italian immigrants than French is why.

Sure.

So like I said, if it's in the USA I'm choosing Italian over French.

If it's in the country of origin, then I'm choosing French over Italian.

I found enormous differences in Paris between the tourist areas and residential areas in terms of restaurants and how I’m treated in them.  I rarely had an issues with service in France.  And they don’t price up their wine 2x and more over retail.  

Learning a few phrases of French probably helps.


Having a French wife probably helps too.

I agree the Italian food here is pervasive and usually quite good.  I’m told the ingredients for many French dishes are just different here.  Beef is better, most everything else …
