We need more people like Anthony Bourdain. He isn't pretentious, he's just looking for good food. He outlines that he's traveling the world in search of the "perfect" meal, which is a combination of context, nostalgia, and great food.
Along the way, he saw humanity in everyone, global politics through a non-judgemental lens, and never exorcized any food or any culture (which would have been all too easy given the other "extreme" food books out there). He seemed very happy to be alive and experiencing the world. We need that kind of human curiosity.
