I've long been a huge fan of Bourdain ever since he started on his television career. The most important thing I learned from Bourdain shows is very simple and also very true: When you visit a place that is unfamiliar to you, whether it's another city in your own country or someplace on another continent, go to the traditional food markets. That's where you can best encounter the culture and flavor (literal and figurative) of a place. It's really good advice (modulo cautions about tap water and uncooked foods).
