When it comes to China’s food capitals, 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 that are ignored by people. They do not have such excellent food culture and reputation. They are like food deserts, also known as "cities with food and drink problems".

I think one of the representatives is Shenyang.

Shenyang is the capital city of Liaoning Province. As one of the important cities in Northeast China, it has a long history and culture and rich natural resources.

However, in terms of food, Shenyang is quite shabby.

Compared with other first-tier cities in China, its food culture is not developed and the quality of its restaurants is generally low.

From taste to appearance, from service to environment, restaurants in Shenyang are unable to meet the needs of diners.

First, let’s take a look at Shenyang’s special dishes.

Most of Shenyang's food culture comes from traditional Northeastern family dishes, among which the famous "Northeastern style" is such as soy sauce pork, white meat with pickled cabbage, three delicacies pulled skin, pork stewed vermicelli, etc.

These dishes allow people to feel the unique local flavor and traditional culture. However, in other cities, these dishes can also be eaten, and even taste better. However, in Shenyang, these dishes are very ordinary and not of high quality.

, also lacks a unique charm.

Secondly, let’s take a look at Shenyang’s restaurant culture.

It is no exaggeration to say that most restaurants in Shenyang lack a hospitable attitude and enthusiastic service spirit.

It's hard to be satisfied with the quality and attitude of the waiters, and the environment and hygiene in many restaurants are not ideal either.

This is really a big problem, because it is difficult to separate the quality and service of a restaurant, and they are the main problems that cause low evaluation by diners.

In addition, Shenyang's catering industry also lacks innovative spirit and fresh concepts.

Although the city has undergone obvious changes in the catering industry, such as the emergence of high-end restaurants and specialty shops, compared with developed first-tier cities, Shenyang's catering industry still seems to be stuck in an outdated business model and lacks

Quality improvement and innovation also affect diners' choice and satisfaction.

The only thing in the world you can’t live up to is delicious food!

Therefore, I think Shenyang can be called one of the food deserts.

Although locals can fully experience the traditional food culture of Northeast China, the quality and reputation of these food and restaurants are lacking.

After all, delicacies not only need to taste good, but also require a certain degree of innovation and cultural connotation. They also need a hospitable service environment, so that they can be accepted and loved by people.

Therefore, Shenyang's catering industry needs to be greatly improved, enhance service awareness, improve restaurant hygiene and environment, increase the number and quality of innovative restaurants, and make Shenyang a city with developed food and food culture.
