    I've had better luck stumbling on random, small delicious Mexican places in the Northeast than I ever have finding even halfway decent pizza on the west coast.

    Also the east coast has better burgers, don't @ me.

    I remember watching a show about pizzas across the US and when they got to california some dude was taking like mozz kraft singles and slapping them on a pizza.

    LA, best food city in America or best food city on Earth?

    Strong contender for best in America from a sheer volume of amazing options and diversity. Honestly, yea, probably the number 1.

    In the world? Clearly you've never been to Singapore

    I've heard that LA and most of the rest of the west coast has shit pizza selections.

    That's a deal breaker.

    I'm a native NYer living here. You're not wrong, however, it's not comparing apples to apples.

    Most places that promote their "NY style pizza", well, they're shit. However, you can get really good pizza here, it's just not NY pizza. If that makes sense.

    Like two nights ago I was on the other side of town in highland Park and went to Triple Beam Pizza. It's fucking outstanding. But it's not like a NY slice. Doesn't make it better or worse. Just different.

    I can’t imagine calling any city anywhere the best food city. Everywhere is surely going to have such different specialties.

    I’m a fan of Italian-style pizza which is hard enough to find in the US anyway. There’s an amazing little Italian restaurant in Tacoma, though, that I bet does great pizza - I’m just so tempted by everything else they offer that I haven’t ordered their pizza yet.

    That kind of pizza (or sicillian style pizza) is what you often get at German fast food hole in the wall places at subway stations and the like. Kept warm for probaly hours. Probably belongs purely in the range of 4 o'clock-in-the-morning-after-a-night-out-food

    My workplace in Germany had a hole-in-the-wall kebab-and-sicilian-pizza joint in the main hall of the university itself. I don't know if I'd call it good pizza, but on a hungover Wednesday morning it was fucking stellar.

    I might have missed it but I don't think anyone has mentioned DC for food yet. It might be the best place for just sheer diversity you can find within walking distance from practically anywhere. Think of a food, and you can probably walk to a place that makes it.

    Get outta here with your scientific categories. If it's in produce and it's not one of apples, pears, grapes, berries, or oranges, it's a vegetable. Yes, corn is a vegetable. So is a tomato.

    Depends on how you use it.

    If it's corn on the cob, it's a vegetable.

    If it's cornmeal is a grain/starch.

    Either way, we're talking cuisine here not botany.

    Avocados, cucumbers, and tomatoes are vegetables because they're typically served with leafy vegetables.

    Now here's the weird thing. Are potatoes a vegetable? And if not, does that mean carrots onions or turnips are not vegetables? (Again, talking about cuisine here, stay with me...)

    A single ear of corn contains less sugar than an apple, and corn has a lot of useful macronutrients and trace nutrients. Pretty much any fruit contains more sugar than corn, we just use corn for sugar substitutes because it's easy to do on an industrial scale.

    Like, yeah, it's sugar-heavy among the vegetables, but I would argue that corn on the cob or corn on its own absolutely constitutes a vegetable in terms of the nutrition it brings to the table (versus, like, a russet potato, which has no nutritional value, it's just starch).

    In 4-H, we were taught to consider potatoes a starch. So when you're balancing a meal, potatoes replace bread rather than vegetable sides.

    And yeah, corn is used as a vegetable while cornmeal is used as a starch.
