Totally agree in some way, I also try to eat the best food I can when I'm visiting a place, but price is definitely a factor here. You can find fucking amazing food in many places for very cheap.
Agreed. I travel to see things and experience life in another area. I want to go where a local would go after a long day at work or when a college student is homesick for home cooking, not where a local would go to propose marriage.
If I want super fancy food, I have options near home. I want "authentic" food to truly experience the culture.
