Wow, my experience is so different. The two most disappointing places I’ve ever been food wise were London and Paris. Spent 2 months in Paris, nothing stuck out except for one home cooked meal at a friend’s

as Tyler Cowen says, Tokyo has the best food in the world, and the best French food in the world.

Tokyo has even won best pizza as judged by the Italian pizza competition in Italy several years

Paris has almost no East Asian food and what I did see when trying to find some was all in porcelain trays like slightly fancier Panda Express.

London I found a few good places in Soho but just slightly out of the center it was a food desert
