When I travel to a new city I only like to experience local cuisine. I live in Washington and grew up in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Singapore, Mumbai, and Austin. I don't really travel to other American cities to look forward to any sort of Asian, African, Latin American, or European foods. Had plenty of that in all the places I lived in (save for Austin, Mumbai, and for Latin American Singapore, obviously).
I like regional cuisines and if I have ethnic food in a place I haven't lived in, it's only because I cant readily find that anywhere else (Minneapolis: Hmong and Somali, Miami: Kosher, Washington and Seattle: Ethiopean).
For example, you go to Kansas City to experience Barbeque (Missouri style), you go to New Orleans to experience Creole and Cajun, you go to Memphis to experience Tennessee Barbeque, you go to New York to experience the delis/Baklava/Kosher, you go to California to experience theCal-Mex and Fusion cuisine, you go to Houston to experience the Tex-Mex/East Texas Barbeque/Cajun (and in the coastal cities of La Marque, La Porte, or Galveston; Creole). Go to Philadelphia for the delis/Italian-American hybrid. You to go Florida for the Floribbean cuisine. So on.
