For strictly American cuisines, the South wins with barbecue, chili, gumbo, good cornbread, country-fried everything, soul food, greens, grits, etc.

But in general, the better ethnic restaurants end up in the North because that's where a lot of the immigrants wind up.

As much as I like good barbecue, I also like good Sichuan, so I'm going to call it a draw.

I much,much,much prefer Southern staples such as eastern Carolina BBQ,sweet tea,biscuits and sausage gravy to such New England things as clam chowder,smoked bluefish and kale soup. However,too much good Southern food leads to higher incidence of lardassery than in Yankee territory so maybe better isn't always "better".Hmm,a point to ponder.

American food is a culinary chemistry sired by European palettes therefor your argument is irrelevant.

That and fast food.

Nobody gives a shit about pizza and sub sandwiches when you have pork BBQ, smoked and fried everything, fried green tomatoes, stew, soul food, etc.

Zaxbys, fuckin Zaxbys. Chickfila, does that ring a bell? Bojangles. Its KENTUCKY fried chicken, not Bronx fried chicken.

What the fuck is unsweet tea???????

If the north is so fucking awesome, why to all the guidos move down this way when they wise up as they get older? Because the south is awesome.

Because they think room temperature is 88 degrees. They move for the weather.

The north beats the south in EVERYTHING except BBQ. Southern BBQ is damn good...but southern food otherwise blows.

The ONLY thing the south wins at is BBQ, and MAYBE mexican.

The North actually has edible pizza...bagels that don't taste like cardboard...italian food/pasta.

Plus all the ethnic food...thai, sushi/japanese etc.

Not to mention the simple fact that the North has a much greater abundance of GOOD restaurants with quality food.

The south does have 483 waffle houses per state though!

Well I never! It looks like someone needs more fiber in their diet. I'd share some of my sustainable organic farm-grown wheatgrass juice with you but I just got back from my male yoga class and I don't want to disturb my chakras.

The north.  Not only because of the diversity of the food available, but also because of the people it attracts.  Several good southern chefs have packed their shit up and moved to the NYC area making their southern soul food available up there so they can rake in the cash.  Sadly, I've had better BBQ in CT than I have in the south (exception: NC any other southern state can suck it), simply because most of the places I've been to in the south are cheap about their ingredients.  For example, every fucking BBQ place in the south I've been to has shitty mac and cheese.  They simply skimp on the cheese to save money and it results in a inferior product.  In CT though, I know a place that uses so much real cheese (not the cheese powder) that you can literally cut it into squares, its to die for and honestly is still competitively priced.  Sure BBQ isn't big there, but if you know the right spots you can find it.

Have fun getting decent pizza south of the mason dixon line.  When I was there Papa Johns was considered "the good stuff" .

The food here is pretty damn good, better than most states.  Southern food is great, yankee food is great.  I've had shit food and delicious food in every state I ever lived in or traveled to, you just have to know what the local favorites are, and which are good.  Scrapple is pure fail, grits are pretty shitty, etc.
