Desert refers to bare land without water and grass. In the food world, there is a term called "food desert".

For example, Chengdu, as a city famous for its spicy food, has many snacks, such as Dandan noodles, Zhong dumplings, Long Chaoshou, etc., but there is no restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine. Therefore, Chengdu Known as the "Chinese Food Desert".

Chongqing is another example. Although hot pot is famous throughout the country, there are very few hot pot restaurants in Chongqing.

In addition to these two, there is Xi'an, which is also a snack city, but lacks a decent hotel. Therefore, Xi'an is called "Chinese Food Desert."

Because most Beijingers don’t like to eat duck anymore. In the past, people liked to eat duck meat, but now, people prefer to eat meat.

In addition, in Beijing, many restaurants sell skewers and stir-fry dishes, but few specialize in selling duck, and the prices are extremely expensive.

Therefore, many people think that Beijing is the place. China's dining desert, and the most typical representative is Quanjude

Shanghai:

Benbang Cuisine

In Shanghai, There are many time-honored restaurants, the most famous of which is Lao Restaurant, which is also a local dish in Shanghai.

However, with the development of the times, today's young people no longer like to eat it. I have been eating Western fast food since I was a child, and I have long lost interest in traditional food.

So, Shanghai’s food culture has gradually been marginalized. In addition, Shanghainese have relatively strong tastes. Some things with light taste are not acceptable, which is also the reason why Shanghai’s food has become a desert.
