What is a gourmet desert, and why do you call it that?

in recent years, with the development of tourism, more and more people have begun to take food as one of the important factors to consider when traveling. However, in my mind, there are still some cities called "food deserts", which are not famous for their food culture.

first of all, I want to mention Las Vegas. Although this city is famous for gambling, entertainment and luxury hotels, its food culture is far inferior to other metropolises. Although there are many Michelin-starred restaurants in Las Vegas, most of them are expensive and high-end restaurants, which are not practical for ordinary tourists. In addition, in Las Vegas casinos and shopping centers, it is actually difficult to find authentic local food except fast food restaurants and chain restaurants.

Another city that I think is a "gourmet desert" is Dubai. Although Dubai is famous in the world, it is a city full of luxury and fashion, but the local food culture is not outstanding. Most restaurants in Dubai serve international cuisines, while local traditional cuisines rarely appear on these occasions. In addition, food prices are relatively expensive, making it difficult for tourists to taste authentic Dubai cuisine.

Finally, there is an unexpected city-new york. Although new york is known as the gourmet capital of the world, there are some "gourmet deserts" in it. In the downtown area of new york, most restaurants are chain stores or fast food restaurants, and the types of food provided are relatively simple. Moreover, due to the high rent and labor costs, many small restaurants have difficulties in survival, resulting in many distinctive foods gradually disappearing in the streets and lanes of this city.

Generally speaking, although these cities have their unique charm and attraction, they are not outstanding in food culture. If you really want to explore the local food culture, you should travel to cities famous for their food culture, such as Southeast Asia, Italy and France.
