118 last week. It will be down to 108 tomorrow. And unlike most places, it doesn't cool off much at night- this time of year, high 80s, by next month 100 as the low.

I think it's Canada again. Best bagels I've ever had were in Montreal; (I lived there for over 20 years as a young guy). Toronto has or recently had a couple of very good bagel bakeries too.
See ... Montreal-style bagels
In shocked Tennessee is 29th. We rank very low in many metrics.
I can absolutely believe it for Montreal. Large Ashkenazi community, major food center.

Montreal has a significant Jewish community. Leonard Cohen grew up there and maintained contact throughout his life.

Yowsers! Blacksburg is at 2,000 feet, pretty low humidity, and doesn't usually get all that hot for very long. We designed our house to have good cross ventilation and it has excellent insulation. It's a two story house and we manage the windows to help as well. We installed solar panels during a local program a few years ago. Our monthly electric bill is around $45. Oh, and as we're on a well we have to use electricity to pump our water. I can't imagine those kind of utility bills!

"Best place to live if you're interested in metrics valued by the moderate, middle-aged, middle-class, white nuclear family."
California has the most Michelin stars (sorry, NY).
IMO, James Beard awards are much more reliable here in the US.
Yes, totally correct, although the earliest Jewish immigrants there in the 19th century were Sephardic. Jewish people comprised a surprisingly high percentage of the English-speaking, ("Anglophone"), segment of the Montreal population. I'm not Jewish myself but, for example, Jews comprised at least 35% of the students of my faculty at university in Montreal.
I mentioned that it was possible to find a few good bagel bakeries in Toronto. Toronto too has a very large Jewish community, but the good bagels in T.O. were introduced specifically by Jewish ex-pats from Montreal.

If you think you need to be in a highly dense area of a big city to get great food, then you are not familiar with the benefits of French (or Italian, Chinese?) cuisine or colonialism. I can walk to the back of many corner groceries in new orleans and get great food; same for small towns in south Louisiana.
I'd bet similar things can said for N. Africa, French Polynesia, and Vietnam.
We have a James Beard award eatery here that does a French Regional cuisine menu here once a month - it's good, but I've always wanted a once a month dinner for areas of France outside of metropolitan France, not to mention Italian Regional...
This food focus thing in the US is a very recent addition to Velveta culture.
