Just got back from New Orleans, drank a lot more bourbon than beer on that particular trip.

Is it?  I didn't hear or see anything unusual while we were there, but I also didn't watch the news.

Yeah I heard about Chicago.  But it seems like Chicago is pretty much always like that now.

Chicago's a great town.  It's huge, compared to New Orleans.  I'm sure it has more restaurants overall by a significant margin, but they are more spread out.

The quality of restaurant and entertainment options per square foot, is much, MUCH higher in New Orleans, than in Chicago.  But that's not a knock on Chicago, it's higher in New Orleans than in any other city I've ever been to, on the entire planet.

Tis a pity I had such a poor time in NO, I won't ever go back, and I'm pretty sure I missed out.  Our experience was that bad.

I would list Boston as one city we had some pretty good food, along with SF and LA.  Usually if you visit a city for say a week, you might find 1-3 really good dining experiences, the rest being OK.  We had some good food in Savannah each time we've been.  There are three places in Hilton Head we like a lot.  Cincinnati had/has some really outstanding restaurants for a city that much out of the way, I thought, but I knew where to go.

Most big cities have some excellent dining options.  I'd say "all" but I haven't been to every big city on the planet.

Houston and Dallas don't have the history of places like Chicago or NY or Boston, but they both have outstanding food.  Houston is especially diverse in ethnic options, as a port city and hub of finance and industry in the southern US.

I used to go to Houston on business almost monthly, which was nice in February, not great in August.  I got wined and dined at some nice places.  I even saw a baseball game in the Astrodome.  One place specialized in game, I had elk of some sort.

My favorite places often are holes in the wall that are really good.

Sure I love hole in the wall discoveries, sort of the "barn finds" of the restaurant world.

And I love really top notch restaurants that are known for making great food, too.

I don't really care one way or the other, because good food is good food.

Old beer brands I recollect:

Stroh - fire brewed, whatever that could possible mean, tasted pretty bad to me

Schlitz - tasted like Bud to me

Falstaff - tasted worse than Bud

Lone Star - not very good

Jax - worse than Lone Star

Heileman's - not very good

Hamm's - still around in a few spots, not very good
Stag.

No wonder more and more people
Are joining the Stag line
For extra-dry Stag beer!
