I live in what these bugmen consider past the middle of nowhere. We're walking distance from multiple restaurants I'd put in my top five for their respective type of cuisine. Hop in the car for fifteen minutes tops - far less than a subway or bus ride in any given city - and I have access to another several.

There is exactly one type of food you can't get outside the city, and that's special food that requires special equipment and multiple spices from different continents to make. But that food comes at a very steep price, and in my experience is so rich that it makes you sick if you have it more than once a week anyway. I'm not really into dropping 200 bucks for a meal on the regular, so not living walking distance from those places affects me none.
