South Africa, beers cold, steaks are the bomb and the seafood is the freshest I’ve had. The fried calamari will melt in your mouth. With the exchange rate on the ZAR a full steak dinner and beer will run around 12-14 USD.
Germany, each restaurant will have their own version of potato soup with dark bread.
Middle East, Mediterranean grill plates with fresh hummus, best grilled lamb chops.
Italy, it’s all good

Spain, anywhere along the Mediterranean Cost..............just fantastic.
The wine in Spain is pretty damn good too.

I'm thinking that I may want to eat my way around Romania.
Ten someplace with many fantastic variations on seafood.

Sorry RockinB, I'm editing the thread. Texas is not a country, not yet anyway. And chili without beans is just soup. Chili with beans is soup...with beans.

I did a foodie tour in Prague 2 years ago. I'd say you go for the beer more than the food. I made it a point to try the local dishes and I wasn't disappointed, but it was simple food - basically our meat and potatoes variations. I've been to a few places in Europe, I think the food experience is what you make of it.

Of all the places I’ve been...... the Turkish mediterranean coast for seafood and choban salad. And Richmond BC for the Chinese food.
With an honorable mention for paella on the southern coast of Spain.

My biggest surprise was the quality of food in the Republic of Ireland. They don't allow franchises like Mcdonalds and KFC, and they make sure the mom and pop places are up to par. Any little hole in the wall pub or shop that serves food kills it.....at least that was my experience. Now, England is a different story. The only real good places there are ethnic like Chinese, and Indian.

Italy without doubt, the land of good food and mouthy women. I cannot understand why anyone would go to France for the food. Oops almost forgot Spain, good food and mouthy women. I am seeing a pattern.

Italy France India Thailand Greece Dubai (middle eastern food)
Louisiana has some of the best food in the world.
The problem with food in the U.S. is that it's processed and preserved so much that it's ruined before it gets to the restaurant. The breads pretty much everywhere else in the world are much, much better than what we have in the U.S. because they're not made with all the preservatives. I can get better tomatoes in any grocery store in downtown Paris than the U.S. because they're fresh, they're not picked green and gassed with ethylene like ours in the U.S.
I travel for a living and food pretty much everywhere outside the U.S. is better than ours. You can obviously find good food in the U.S., but you have to search through a bunch of crap to find it. I can go to any restaurant in Italy and have a fantastic meal. In the U.S. if I just pick a place at random there's a 90% chance I'm going to get microwave heated crap prepared at a remote kitchen and shipped in a plastic bag to the restaurant.

Had awesome food everywhere I've been, culture is amazing. That said I won't travel anywhere just for the cuisine. Glad I've done it, but the food alone isn't worth it. The people, yes. Maybe there's a big part of it too. I've also been in places with sheetay people and sheetay food so that might be a thing too
