The idea of "High Speed Rail" in Spain and Italy, can be a little misleading.  If you average out the days that nobody's on strike and the trains are actually running, versus days when the trains aren't running at all, it's probably not much faster than Amtrak.  Similar for France but not quite as bad.

I dunno gotta get creative with pasta.Every year my nephew Tim and his wife - nice lady have Thanksgiving. Her folks are Italian and they make from scratch pasta and a herbed tomato(from their garden) sauce. They get compliments don't get me wrong it's good,but it's freakin' Turkey Day. Tim absolutely has smoking meats down,so he'll alternate with the 2nd bird either being roasted or deep fried and all sorts of stuffing.I stop over like every other year and feel I have to testify to the tasty tomato/pasta dish. But they are such nice folks I gladly do it

I don't know why say Nice would be worse than Paris.  The Parisians I know say Lyon is the capitol of French cuisine.  I have had some very good meals in Lyon.

Anyway, like all such lists, it heavily depends on the individual.  I personally would elevate Austin above NO, and probably Sonoma, even Boston gets high marks with me.  

I like places that are not overrun with tourists, I think that condition means they serve crappy tourist food to undiscerning tourists who will rave about it.

One of the best dinners I've had in the US was in Louisville, KY.  

Home - Bistro Le Relais

Some others were at places owned by Jean Robert de Cavel in Cincinnati, but he has passed on now unfortunately.  His sole remaining place is still superb last time I was there.

My own rating would have France at the top, but the difference numerially between France at #8 and Greece is rather slight, probably inside any MoE.

The thing I like about "American cuisine" is that we adopt anything and everything from anywhere.  You don't find that in other countries.  I ate at a Mexican and a Japanese restaurant in France and they were distinctly mediocre.  My daughter complained that Vancouver had no BBQ nor Mexican places worth spit.  They have a ton of excellent Asian of course.

I think even in Atlanta I can find everything from Ethopian to Turkist to Persian to Indian to Asian readily in addition to fried chicken and grits.
