This depends on one's taste

In view of the fact that many people question the absurd comparative evaluation of Tianjin's "gourmet desert" and Chengdu's "gourmet paradise", I would like to further elaborate my personal evaluation criteria for a gourmet city.

The evaluation of a city's food aura is not based on how much, how delicious, how expensive and how powerful the food is in snack street, food city and online celebrity punch card place. Most residents will not visit these places every day. However, in a big city with a population of 1 million, this aspect is not bad.

the most important evaluation weight is that ordinary people randomly choose a cheap restaurant in the streets and alleys of the city (from large chain stores to individual small restaurants), and there is a high probability that they will not step on the thunder, and there will even be no small surprise. Because this is the most common state in life.

Chengdu has done a good job in this respect, focusing on all kinds of "fly restaurants" and so-called "ghost diets". Almost every street in the five urban areas has cheap restaurants with good taste. I still remember that when I first arrived in Chengdu from Tianjin, my first meal was not a hot pot or a string of noodles. I just ate a bowl of clear soup and pea noodles at Shenxianshu North Road (an inconspicuous street near the Second Ring Road in Chengdu), and I was deeply shocked by this bowl of noodles at that time, and the price of this bowl of noodles was only 1 yuan.

Tianjin is indeed much weaker in randomly visiting restaurants and encountering delicious food. If you want to eat delicious food, you should either go to an "oasis" like the food court or you should try your luck.
