Food and travel writer Dan Q. Dao writes, "It was truly Bourdain who showed so many like me that food writing could go beyond cookbook writing or restaurant reviewing—that it had the potential, as a form of travel journalism, to encapsulate hundreds of years of migration, trauma, and triumph into a single bite.
