Cuisine is inherently local, that's one of the great things about it.
When talking about bicycle tool stands, elsan_points, or toilets, I'd help
lead the charge for a worldwide tag.
But for cuisine: it should reflect the richness of the area, especially
since you can tag more than one:

cuisine=greasy_spoon;british;breakfast

Note the seeming USA equivalent is "dive".  Most, but by no means all,
Diners are also dives.   So a Diner
that's also a dive would likely feel fairly familiar, except without the
tea.


There are many tags with low counts that have great potential.  Don't
let greasy_spoon=4 put you off.
