No idea, but I consider it a crime against culture to be from and live in NYC, have no refined sense of food, and eat fast food every day.
Eating fast food and living in NYC is a sign of either someone is incredibly lazy or has taste buds of a 4-year-old because you can get good ethnic food at street carts. If someone is anxious about trying new foods you can just tell them that millions of people all around the world eat this food every day, so they could at minimum be willing to try it once. I wasn't sure about trying falafel and koshari in college but now I love it when a former classmate made it for me because she was from Egypt and those were easy and cheap meals for college students who don't have a lot of money. Now I love falafel and am still searching for a koshari place. I tried Indian in college because it is also cheap, tasty and very filling and now I crave it.
My daughter spent time in Cambodia and Thailand in college and I found a hole in the wall that serves Cambodian cuisine made by first-generation immigrants from the Vietnam war and it is one of my favorites.
