We don't do this because competition doesn't work that way in the restaurant industry. Location in most cases trumps content. When I look to eat out, I choose amongst the restaurants close to me. Occasionally there's a restaurant I might drive more than ten miles to eat at. But it would be foolish for any restaurant to specifically cater to the long tail when 90% the money is in a 5 mile radius.

Believe it or not, people actually travel half the world to experience genuine eating out.
Example: Argentinean steaks.
Anyway, you can fit a lot of diverse restaurants into 5 miles radius. The mainstream music selection is much narrower.
