    I created a steadfast rule that I follow to this day, after craving "nachos" in Brussels years ago...I do not eat seafood in Phoenix, or Mexican food in Boston, and I sure as hell will never eat nachos in a foreign country EVER again...

    Imagine being served Chinook salmon in Abu Dhabi...

    eh, thank you, but no

    Why not? I mean, it's more likely to be New England farmed salmon than Alaskan wild salmon, but refrigeration is refrigeration. What's the problem?

    Fair point, for today...history says otherwise, for me

    I work with a bunch of former Alaska fishermen out of Anacortes. That salmon fishery is huge, and their catch ends up all over the world. In fact, the biggest driver of market price is Japan, as they buy a fuckton of it (metric fuckton, of course).

    I love salmon, and there's definitely a benefit to getting it in certain places over others. Not so much because of the distance the fish travels (again, refrigeration was invented a long time ago) but because there's an advantage to eating it where it's more prevalent and chefs know how to properly cook it. Japan's a hell of a long ways from Alaska, but I'm betting you're going to get some fucking great wild salmon there. Abu Dhabi... who knows. That place is all about luxury, so you're probably eating at a place where the salmon is $100 and the chef knows his shit. I'd ask if it's wild or farmed, and if they tell me it's farmed or they're not sure, I'd move on. Otherwise, I'd totally try the salmon in Abu Dhabi.

    Now, Norman Oklahoma? Yeah... Just give me a steak.

    I think I had sushi like once in phoenix when I was there for a few years in 14-17.

    In Vegas there are lots of good places though. They get the good suppliers I assume that hook up the hotels

    My point (which I did an admittedly shitty job of making) is that countries / regions / cities are known for food, based on history, culture, access...yada-yada. Omaha for steaks, New Orleans for étouffée, Maine for lobster, Seattle for salmon, Boston for chowder. I know I can get almost anything I want, anywhere I want it, for a price. You can get a cheesesteak almost anywhere, but they all suck compared to what you can get in Philly. BTW, my OP was referencing Belgian nachos, which were essentially a can of Nalleys poured over Pringles...I am going to go puke now...flashbacks

    Edited for mis-spelling Nalleys
