Anthony Bourdain had a profound appreciation for street food, emphasizing its role in enriching travel experiences and contributing to local culture. He famously declared street food as the "salvation of the human race," advocating for its authenticity over chain restaurants. Bourdain addressed concerns about food safety, arguing that street food vendors, who cater primarily to locals, maintain high hygiene standards to remain in business. His love for street food was evident in his plans for Bourdain Market, a food hall featuring global street cuisine, showcasing dishes like Kuching-style laksa, which he considered his favorite noodle soup.
"Street food, I believe, is the salvation of the human race. Street food makes travel interesting and adds culture in a world of chain restaurants."
"Nobody could stay in business feeding the locals if everyone was getting sick eating thereâstreet food is safer than hotel buffets."
