The tourist eats at the famous spot. The local eats at the same three places. Both are missing half the menu.

Two opposite habits produce the same blind spot. Go somewhere once and you see only the famous thing; live somewhere for years and you orbit the three places you already trust. Both feel like knowing a place, and both leave most of it unvisited. Comfort and novelty each have their own way of narrowing what you actually try.

Break the pattern this week in whichever direction yours runs. If you always get the same order, get the thing you cannot pronounce. If you are new somewhere, skip the spot with the queue and go where it is quiet and local instead.
