When it comes to the gourmet capital of China, the first places that many people think of must be first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, in a big country like China, there are still many cities neglected by people. They don't have such excellent food culture and reputation. They are like food deserts, also known as "cities with eating problems". I think one of them is Shenyang. Shenyang is the capital city of Liaoning Province. As one of the important cities in the northeast of China, it has a long history, culture and rich natural resources. However, in terms of food, Shenyang is rather shabby. Compared with other first-tier cities in China, its food culture is not developed and the quality of restaurants is generally low. Restaurants in Shenyang are difficult to meet the needs of diners from taste to appearance, from service to environment.

First of all, let's take a look at the specialties of Shenyang. Most of Shenyang's food culture comes from traditional home cooking in Northeast China, among which the most famous is "Northeast flavor", such as sauce meat, white meat with sauerkraut, three fresh and thin faces, pork stewed vermicelli and so on. These dishes make people feel the unique local flavor and traditional culture, but in other cities, these dishes can also be eaten, or even taste better, while in Shenyang, these dishes are very ordinary, with neither high quality nor unique charm.

Secondly, let's take a look at the catering culture in Shenyang. It is no exaggeration to say that most restaurants in Shenyang lack hospitality and enthusiastic service spirit. The quality and attitude of waiters are not satisfactory, and the environment and sanitary conditions of many restaurants are not ideal. This is really a big problem, because it is difficult to separate the quality and service of a restaurant, which is the main problem that causes the low evaluation of diners.

In addition, Shenyang catering industry also lacks innovative spirit and fresh concepts. Although the catering industry in this city has undergone obvious changes, such as the emergence of high-end restaurants and specialty shops, compared with developed first-tier cities, Shenyang's catering industry seems to remain in an outdated business model, lacking quality improvement and innovation, which also affects diners' choice and satisfaction.
