How to treat the view that Foshan's food culture is not prosperous enough?

In recent years, the catering industry in China has developed rapidly. From individual shops to the rise of chain brands, people pay more and more attention to dining experience and taste satisfaction. But different cities have different levels of understanding and development of food. In my opinion, if I want to choose a gourmet desert city, it must be Foshan where I am now.

Foshan, a city with a long history and culture, is adjacent to Guangzhou and is known as the land of plenty. However, even with its unique geographical advantages and humanistic heritage, Foshan's cuisine is still quite single and lacks characteristics.

First of all, the breakfast culture in Foshan is quite weak. In terms of traditional cuisine, there are not many places where Foshan can walk in the forefront of Guangdong Province. Foshan has hardly set foot in famous foods such as Hong Kong morning tea and Guangzhou breakfast. Even the local specialty food, clay pot rice, is incomparable to other cities.

Secondly, there are few popular foods in Foshan. In the era of celebrity restaurants and trendy snacks flying all over the sky, ordinary restaurants in Foshan are often the main sources of repeat customers and old customers. Foshan lacks kitchen gimmicks that make young people eat fanatically, and lacks fresh and creative snacks.

Finally, even local specialties are not well promoted in Foshan. Due to the lack of adequate marketing, traditional foods such as Osmanthus Jelly and crystal powder in Foshan are rarely known to foreigners, let alone established nationwide.

In short, although Foshan has developed for hundreds of years, it is far less than the development level of catering industry in Guangzhou, Shanghai and other cities. Even if there are not so many popular restaurants and snacks among online celebrities, we need traditional food with more characteristics and "local" charm. I hope Foshan's food culture can be better explored and developed in the future.
