There are a few selected food items here I just won’t and don’t eat here in Florida anymore due to the poor quality, or, spice level, it’s ether lacking or completely wrong combo, or the taste is so far off it’s super sad.
Pizza- I have found 3 places that do a good job. The best “Manhattan” pizza I had blew my mind like I never left the Big Apple. Why? LOL @ this one, the Pizza shop is called “The NY pizza spot.” I worked mid town Manhattan for years and swore I had this before as I’m eating it. Turns out it was the same guy I went to when I worked the very pizza shop I would eat lunch at in mid town Manhattan. There are two other shops and one is a fella from Queens NY. The last is a small franchise. Their sign says “Our recipes, probably imported from New York.”
It’s not just the water quality ether.
Chinese- the best one I found around here would probably, probably survive in NY. Every other one is a super fail and I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. Garbage, complete garbage.
Not that I ever eat dog food but I’ll take it over these Chinese places.
Bagels - I give them credit for trying. They’re best shops. Well… They would not be able to stay in biz in NY. Just would not happen.
There’s a few others, but yeah, the two above (not the 2-3 pizza shops, but most of the other pizza shop) I just won’t eat. I’ll wait until I go up to New York to eat it. There just not worth even thinking about.
Florida often kills it on the yummy level on a lot of there steak houses and seafood items. I’d have to go to NY,s absolute best places to match what they do here even at local dive bars.
