There are a number of foods that are supposedly only being amazing within a certain geographic location, but the best ones I've had were far outside if that location.

The best shrimp poboy I had was in Tampa; nothing I could find in New Orleans even came close. There was a New York style pizza place in Shanghai which people that went back to America would talk about missing (better than any pizza I've had in NYC). An Italian person I knew visited D.C. and when they got back to Rome they kept talking about how much they missed the pizza place in Washington.

For bagels, best I've ever had is probably a split between New Jersey (not _far_ from NYC) and Montreal.

Was the pizza place in Washington 2Amys?

Best pizza I’ve ever had. Franks in New Haven is close, but just not that crazy about thin crust.

(Ironically, some of the worst “real” pizza I’ve had was at the Atlanta restaurant owned by someone whose “How to make real pizza” page gets posted here every year or two. Yea, it had a nice char but everything about it was just bland bland bland)

That's the one.

Homeslice in Shanghai is fantastic

There are a lot of good pizza places in Shanghai because China is a big food country and restaurants that serve bad food can't survive here

Homeslice or Joe’s?
