"There might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans but there is not place more uniquely wonderful. So, I would say New Orleans. With the best restaurants in New York, you will find something similar to it in Paris or Copenhagen or Chicago. But there is no place like New Orleans. So, it's a must see city because there is no explaining it, no describing it. You can't compare it to anything. So, far and away New Orleans." ~Anthony Bourdain, when asked where is the best city to eat in America
