This is a very subjective question, and different people may have different opinions. I don't have a definite answer, but I can tell you some netizens' views and criteria for judging the food desert.

The top ten "gourmet desert" cities in China are:

Beijing is regarded as the first gourmet desert. Many people complain that Beijing's snacks are not delicious, such as braised pork, Zhajiang Noodles, roast duck, etc., which are greasy, monotonous and tasteless.

Hangzhou: It is considered as the second place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that Hangzhou food is too light, too sweet and too expensive, such as vinegar fish from West Lake and Dongpo meat, and feel that it is not enough, enjoyable and worthwhile.

Shenzhen: It is considered to be the third place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that Shenzhen has no local characteristics, only immigrant food from all over the world, and the quality is not high and the price is not low.

Shanghai: It is considered as the fourth place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that Shanghai food is too sweet, too oily and too heavy, such as local dishes and steamed buns, which are unhealthy, not exquisite and not delicious.

Wuhan: It is regarded as the fifth place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that the snacks in Wuhan are not in line with their own tastes, such as Regan Noodles and bean skin, which are dry, tasteless and hard to swallow.

Nanjing: It is considered to be the sixth place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that Nanjing cuisine has no bright spots, such as duck blood vermicelli soup and salted duck, and they find it fishy, salty and boring.

Tianjin: It is considered as the seventh place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that Tianjin snacks have no special features, such as Goubuli steamed stuffed bun and pancake fruit, which are common, boring and boring.

Suzhou: considered as the eighth place in the gourmet desert, many people complain that Suzhou food is too sweet, too light and too expensive, such as Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish and boiled chicken, which are not affordable, enjoyable and delicious.

Qingdao: It is considered as the ninth gourmet desert. Many people complain that Qingdao's seafood is not fresh, such as scallops and conchs, which are frozen, fishy and difficult to digest.

Xiamen: It is considered as the 11th place in the gourmet desert. Many people complain that the snacks in Xiamen have not changed, such as Satay Noodles and frozen bamboo shoots, which are monotonous, repetitive and boring.

Of course, the term "gourmet desert" is subjective and does not represent everyone's opinion. Every city has its own food culture and characteristics, which cannot be generalized.
