I&#x27;ve eaten in tons of places downtown and in fancy ethnic places in gentrified areas all over America. Even there the &quot;foreign food&quot; is watered down compared to its country of origin. At best it&#x27;s close to the quality&#x2F;palette of the touristy places of the original country.<p>The closer you can get is in some immigrant restaurants (dives etc) that only people of said ethnicity ever go.
