NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – This week the men’s lifestyle site, Thrillist, listed their top 40 best food cities. Guess who was number one? Yep, New Orleans.

The website pointed to street-wide crawfish boils, po-boys, king cake and sno-balls as must eat foods. They also highlight our amazing restaurants.

“Five of the oldest restaurants in the country are here and still serving, and they aren’t just boring standbys that should’ve closed their doors long ago: Commander’s Palace is helmed by a James Beard-winning chef, while Antoine’s is still awing with its never-been-revealed recipe for oysters Rockefeller, which they invented (yep, you’ve only eaten fakes elsewhere). And new(er) guys like Donald Link’s fish-to-tail Peche, John Besh and Alon Shaya’s pizza-haven Domenica, and Philip Lopez’s incredibly inventive Square Root, one of the best restaurants in America, keep things inventive.

“It would be an unmitigated task to start naming all of the tiny Creole, Cajun, Vietnamese, and Italian spots that fill in the huge gap between the new all-stars and the grand dames, but that’s why New Orleans visitors have created quite the cliche when they return from a visit: you could eat all day, all week in New Orleans and never get a bad meal or fully grasp the cuisine melting pot that fills the city.”

New York City and its pizza, cheesecake and clam chowder snagged the second spot on the list.

Chicago came in third. San Francisco and Portland rounding out the top 5.
