First of all, the gourmet desert is not a place where there is no food, but a place where there is no food. In these cities, you may find many restaurants and vendors, but the food they provide is not satisfactory in taste and quality. The following situations may occur in these cities:
1. Lack of local characteristics
Some cities may not have a unique food culture, or their food culture is unknown. For example, some small cities or emerging cities may not have developed their own food culture or invested enough resources to develop the food industry. Such a city can be considered as a gourmet desert.
2. Low level of catering industry
In some cities, the level of catering industry may be very low, and many restaurants and vendors lack cooking and management skills. The food provided by these restaurants may be tasteless or have hygiene problems. Such a city will also be considered as a gourmet desert.
The pace of life is too fast.
In some big cities, people's lives may be very fast, and they may pay more attention to speed and convenience than food itself.
In such a city, fast food restaurants and fast food chains may dominate, while local restaurants may be ignored. Such a city will also be considered as a gourmet desert.
For the above reasons, here are some cities that may be regarded as food deserts:
