More travel than food, but Jeff Greenwald's The Size of the World is excellent.

I hope I hear more about your thoughts one day in the form of a book. Your's is one of the more incredible travel stories in recent memory. It brings to mind Jeff Greenwald's The Size of the World.

The Size of the World by Jeff Greenwald is the one that really gave me the travel bug. His Shopping for Buddhas is also excellent.

Others that are all pretty light and fun:

• No Touch Monkey! by Ayun Halliday
  
• Tales of a Female Nomad by Rita Gold Gelman
  
• Don't laugh, but Eat, Pray, Love is actually a great travel memoir. Not sure why it gets so much hate.
  
• Traveler's Tales publishes a few anthologies a year that are always great.

Jeff Greenwald did this quite some time ago and wrote "Size of the World". http://www.amazon.com/The-Size-World-Jeff-Greenwald/dp/034540551X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397060106&sr=8-2&keywords=Size+of+the+world .
