It might be more accurate to say 'meat and dairy is everything in northern French cuisine', which Bourdain was a product of. Many Mediterranean cuisines are considerably more vegetarian-friendly: consider simple and fairly traditional Italian dishes like cacio e pepe, carciofi alla giudia, sugo all'arrabbiata, spaghetti aglio e olio, parmigiana melanzane, and pizza margherita/napoletana.
That said, I get your point, and I wouldn't go to a steakhouse demanding good vegetarian food.
