Ouch. I know I'm old and people fall out of the collective zeitgeist, but he is worth a look into. Anthony Bourdain. He's a chef that became an "influencer" though I think he would hate it if I described him as such. He wrote books about kitchen life and doing drugs and waking up on the beach in New Jersey and not knowing how he got there. Having to figure out a way back to New York for his night shift.

He's been to so many countries that if you're curious about any random one then one of his many shows has an episode for you. He goes into the not only the food, but local scene, night life, and history.

He was very famous and had many food and travel shows. Had an episode where he had a meal with Obama in ~~South Korea~~ Vietnam. (Thank you Wav_function). He has a nice way of speaking and uses words I like.

His tale ended tragically in a hotel room while he was working on another show.
