Why is there zero New Zealand food in NYC? (x-post)

x-post from r/asknyc I saw:

Been living here for three years and I’m genuinely confused why we have literally every cuisine except Kiwi food. Like we got Ethiopian, Peruvian, even multiple Georgian spots but not a single New Zealand restaurant anywhere. I’m craving some kiwi butter chicken the way they do it in Auckland or some decent fish and chips that aren’t just generic pub food. The Kiwis know how to do butter chicken with their own twist and their fish and chips game is actually insane compared to what passes for it here. You’d think in a city with 8 million people someone would’ve opened at least one spot by now. Is it just that there aren’t enough New Zealanders here or is the food scene just not interested. Would definitely hit up a place that did proper butter chicken or even just some good meat pies
