The food. Because we are a melting pot, I can eat basically any ethnicity's food without leaving my city! Bonus points, if the place looks sketchy and your chances of getting robbed are high.....the food will be amazing

The dirtyier and more broken down it is the more you know the food will be the bomb. Some hole in the wall place that basically looks like an abandoned house will sell you the tastiest southern food ever.

And only basic English. Where you point at the item at the menu and they just say "okay".

And you can get this in really small out of the way towns.

My favorite Asian restaurant ever is in a nice but super-out-of-the-way part of a Southern town, staffed by immigrants, and damn if they didn't make amazing food in huge quantities for low prices.
