What types of Food does LA lack in general?

LA really is an amazing city for ethnic foods, in my opinion, no other city can match some of our ethnic offerings,

Mexican - Best in the nation (arguable)
Japanese - Best in the nation (not arguable)
Korean - Best in the nation (not arguable)
Sushi - Best in the nation (not arguable)
Chinese - Best in the nation (not arguable)
Thai - (not knowledgeable but up there)
Seafood overall (up there)

What’s underrated is that LA is an amazing Burger/Diner city as well. So, what do we lack? Of course we don’t have as much BBQ as Texas and the South, and not as much Greek/Italian as Chicago. We don’t have as much NYC style pizza or bagels, but those are specifically NY style items… I don’t see much if any deficiencies. I’d like more creole/southern offerings but that’s being very nitpicky. I can’t think of any type of food that we lack. LA really is an amazing city for food!
