Those bowls of com hến Huế and bún hến Huế most likely cost 20.000₫ or about $.86 USD each. Huế (where that scene was shot) has some of the best food in Viet Nam. I've been there many times and use to live 2.5 hours to the south in tp. Da Nang, also one of the great food cities of the world. BTW he wasn't kidding about the fish sauce. That wasn't the standard and mild nước mắm but mắm nêm that can double as paint stripper. Search YT for the video "My favorite dish | Summer Le" for a great intro to it.
Sudhir Kakar I grew up in France with french and khmere/vietnamese meals from my parents. They're all delicious and different on their own, don't know wich i prefer but I for sure can't leave without any of them :D
@Sudhir Kakar You know the french had cultural food influence in most asian countries like vietnam so saying it's better than the french... that's a double negative considering most of the recipes they used are from each other, and better yet evolved better.
RIP Anthony - I hope you are sitting at a small plastic table enjoying all types of random Vietnamese food in your afterlife. I miss you so much already :(
Sitting here tearing up while listening to Lyle Lovett thinking that not enough of a reason. So I come here knowing this hero of mine being gone will add a bigger punch, next I'll add in more by visiting a Robin Williams tribute, then another hero goine - Christopher Hitchens, I so miss those who I thought would always be there, stupid I know, I so hate growing old.
He's spot on about Vietnam. If you love food, it's like going to heaven. Everywhere you look is food. Everything is laid back, everything is delicious, and your food dollar goes forever. His meal there was probably less than $4, including the beer.
I've fallen in love with Vietnam since I was 6. It was the first time when I saw the fascinating black and white photos of Vietnam War in a book on the floor of the library near my house. Anthony has considered Vietnam as one of his favorite places on earth, so have I.
I’ve lived and travelled in Asia for 10 years now. Vietnam I must say is an all time favourite. Vietnamese people are quite unique and their culture is too. But boy, the food Is fucking incredible and very rarely heavy. Anthony truly embraced other cultures and their cuisine, something few Americans care to venture into. May he rest in peace
RIP Tony. He was a big reason why I chose to move to Vietnam. His genuine love for this place convinced me to chose Vietnam over other southeast Asian countries to live in. Thanks for all you have taught us You will be missed
@PJB Vietnam is no longer a third world country and your comment is extremely insensitive to the person you're replying to. You probably win the douche bag award everywhere you go!
Being a Vietnamese Canadian immigrant, I've always adored watching your show's and of course felt especially proud of my heritage when you visit Vietnam in your shows. It actually made me feel closer to my country of origin despite I didn't fly back home for my first time till 32 years later in search of family. Thank you for being so honest and authentic and showing cultural diversity to be so relatable to the rest of the world and an inspiration to myself and many others. May you find peace Mr. Anthony Bourdain.
@@jtruther6062 If vietnam was as wealthy and connected as the west, we would both want to move there so stfu. It’s great to have food and products from all over the world in the usa
At the time he shot this, I was living just a couple kilometers away and visiting this very spot daily. Bun Bo Hue was also my favorite dish in the world and so much of this episode was just so surreal. I was going through a rough and lonely time and upon watching this i felt a bit less alone and definitely a connection with Anthony and the way he lived his life and treated others. I always admire the way he experienced life.
I miss Anthony dearly. I left Vietnam in 1987 as a son of an American serviceman. I swore I would never come back to Vietnam but all that changed when I first saw an episode of A Cooks Tour show featured Anthony in Vietnam and the rest is history. I have been back to Vietnam many times and continue to visit every year and in the process of moving back for good. RIP Tony!
I'm a returning veteran of the American War in Vietnam. I'm watching this from Quy Nhơn, Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam, after eating some delicious street food for dinner. The cinematography and editing do a great job of capturing the atmosphere in most Vietnamese towns, on any given evening. It's an experience that repeatedly makes my life worth living longer. I wish he were here to join me. "May His Memory Be Eternal!"
I can see now why he enjoys Vietnam. Not only because of the food, but also the environment. For some maybe seeking a life where its all luxurious or modern, there are people like him where the simplest things is more than enough. Although the place is considered abit of a hectic, but still simple (in the right perspective that is). Can consider a hidden gem. A huge respect for the man, and may he rest in peace
I miss Anthony Bourdain. He had such a creative way of describing food, places and his experiences. There will never be another one like him, ever. R.I.P. Anthony. 🙏🏼
Had Vietnamese influence in restaurants all my life in Hawaii, but once you go to Vietnam the experience is a complete 180. Vietnam has some of the best food on the planet hands down.
I miss him so much. I haven’t really been able to watch his shows since he died. The world got a little colder, knowing that Tony wasn’t out there meeting the locals and educating us on other countries’ history and cuisine. Depression is one of the most painful things I’ve experienced and I hope Tony’s death at least leads to more men opening up and getting help before it’s too late 💜
I feel exactly the same, it's funny how you can miss someone you actually never met in person, I hope some day you and me both can watch his shows again without feeling our hearts crush in our chests.
Out of all the episodes I specifically remembered this line. I think he says it other times too. Basically happiness is a bowl of noodles in a hole in the wall experiencing and listening to the night life. He had such a good way with words. It made you want to be eating there at that moment away from chaos enjoying the simplest of things.
Tony was a great storyteller. Many of the things he said have stayed with me throughout the years ; not only in my brain , but in my heart . Tony ---- he had not only a spirit of adventure ; he carried a certain kind of wisdom around inside . Rest in peace , Tony !
I know what he means now. Ever since I went to Korea, there's a certain feeling about being lost in another country, eating good food, and being around people who are almost nothing like you but also the same people born in a different place. It shows you how small you are but how you can enjoy life so much by looking back. You don't need to think, just feel and be free.
Went to Vietnam with friends for a wedding, one friend met his wife there. It is one of the best places ever and we will remember it till we die. Bring some Imodium.
This was his speciality... He gave focus to the street food the stuff that the regular folks eat. Such an amazing storyteller and presenter. RIP Mr Bourdain.
auggiedoggy I don’t see any bugs in the bowl. Also, that’s pretty stereotypical and cultural Vietnamese food does not consist of bugs. It involves a lot of seafood, rice, herbs, etc. Pretty healthy if you ask me.
I went to Vietnam in 2016, 2017 and 2018 because of Anthony Bourdain and this episode. When it was mentioned that Anthony Bourdain killed himself I immediately thought of the despair I felt when learning Robin Williams killed himself too and how I so badly wished I knew both of them and could've made them laugh or given them a sense of worth. I'm alone and am backpacking around the world since May 2016. I feel so sad.
No one does review of VN like Anthony Bourdain. True love shining through when he talked about the country. From food to cultures and everything in between
Anthony brought me the World.. I have never taken a vacation.. he brought me people, sights, sounds, and as close as humanly possible through the lens touch and taste... You will be missed my tour guide. Rest in Peace....
Oh Lord I love cơm hến too. It's a central Vietnam dish and it literally has about 15 fresh ingredients in, like a complex mini clams rice salad. Very delicious!
Rest in Peace Sir... I keep watching his shows jus to see the way he approached everyone and everything .. with so much respect ... really miss your shows
Absolutely adored his show "No Reservations" growing up, I'd sit along side my dad who would watch him and just enjoy his experiences. As many have already stated, he will truly be missed.
He was so fresh. I am surprised CNN scooped him up. I remember the first episodes of No Reservations on the Travel Channel. He had on a Dead Boys t shirt. So cool. Love it. Thanks Bourdain for being yourself.
What makes him unique and stand out from others is his simplicity and sarcastic at the same time. Still you’ll find him respecting the ppl around him,food and the culture.
The epitome of cool and savoir faire wrapped up in a gentle , complex soul was Anthony Bourdain. I never met him in person, regrettably, but wished i had as we all probably do. Yes, may you rest in peace and hope one day to meet you somewhere, out there, in parts unknown.
I can see compassion and kindness in his eyes. As a 33 year-old Vietnamese, I can tell you the best regions and best people you can find in Vietnam are Da Nang province and the South of Vietnam.
I like to think that in moments like these Bourdain was truly happy and felt some level of peace. I can't believe I didn't discover this man's addicting personality until after he passed. Such a shame.
He will certainly be missed. The atmosphere he creates, his conscious thoughts, tone of voice, mannerisms. Just the music and tone his shows created. They weren't just culinary shows they were culture studies into humanity. First class shows all the way
I've traveled many south eastern-countries and indeed, Vietnam has the best food out of all of them. Pho bo tai soup and that Bahn Mi bread filled with all the stuff is among my favorites.
I think Bourdains struggle is the ultimate struggle of the romantic. Having spent such time romanticizing every tiny point of an experience, mostly food, but also life, its common the desire to seek beauty becomes broken from fatigue. The heart cant handle living life at this level without a very stable foundation at home.
Hello rest of the world. And thank you CNN for making our Vietnam so beloved. As a Vietnamese, I want to thank God for instilling in me a beloved life, I want to go around the world and say: Thank you for life!. With a unique culture in my red-blooded, yellow-skinned country, what do you guys think? I find it peaceful, beautiful like life in a dream. And I also hope CNN will find us again so that we can enjoy our unique culture and cuisine. No matter how short our human lives are, you should use the rest of your life for your joys and your far-fetched dreams. Our Vietnam can also be a place for your humour, your smiles and will gladly share that endless joy with the little sufferings in the distance. I hope the pandemic that is taking over the earth is Covid-19 to pass so we can be loved even more. May you find rest, Mr. Anthony Bourdain, Vietnam we follow your steps.
For anyone who wants to rethink their comment please take this seriously. For those of you who aren’t willing to see the other side just keep on your path. No harm in your view. I enjoyed this as I did all of his work. There are two parts of a person...maybe more. His words in his lifelong work are something to take seriously and not to be brushed aside. I’ve seen many comments saying basically not to listen to this man because of how he died. I’m not here to judge that I’m here to say that although this man was experiencing a secret pain he was also enjoying life. I know many can’t comprehend that notion because they haven’t experienced it. But, I have. We all have different experiences with life and no one is as simple as they seem...no one. This man was not a corporate puppet...or as some have suggested..someone who is fed lines regardless of his feelings. This is a man who wouldn’t have done this video if he wasn’t allowed to be 100% authentic. Food can bring you joy, just as anything else. People who tell you otherwise don’t understand the pain of hunger. They don’t know what it’s like to have nothing to eat for days and then to finally have the ability to enjoy a meal. Or, a person who is lonely and misses friends or family...and finally gets to sit down at a table and talk to them and enjoy a meal together. There’s a difference between the person who treats people like crap just to stuff their face and a person enjoying their life and the blessing of having food on their table. Sleep, food, love and laughter. If you want to know what this man was about then you need to understand that at his core he was as simple as four words. There’s a sadness to life that can’t be explained but there is also a beauty to life that people will never allow you to explain. If you ignore wise words like his then you will miss a beautiful part of life.
Rest In Peace brother.
Best Ever Food Review Show yep rip

I enjoyed this as I did all of his work. There are two parts of a person...maybe more. His words in his lifelong work are something to take seriously and not to be brushed aside. I’ve seen many comments saying basically not to listen to this man because of how he died. I’m not here to judge that I’m here to say that although this man was experiencing a secret pain he was also enjoying life. I know many can’t comprehend that notion because they haven’t experienced it. But, I have. We all have different experiences with life and no one is as simple as they seem...no one.
This man was not a corporate puppet...or as some have suggested..someone who is fed lines regardless of his feelings. This is a man who wouldn’t have done this video if he wasn’t allowed to be 100% authentic.
Food can bring you joy, just as anything else. People who tell you otherwise don’t understand the pain of hunger. They don’t know what it’s like to have nothing to eat for days and then to finally have the ability to enjoy a meal.
Or, a person who is lonely and misses friends or family...and finally gets to sit down at a table and talk to them and enjoy a meal together.
There’s a difference between the person who treats people like crap just to stuff their face and a person enjoying their life and the blessing of having food on their table. Sleep, food, love and laughter. If you want to know what this man was about then you need to understand that at his core he was as simple as four words.
There’s a sadness to life that can’t be explained but there is also a beauty to life that people will never allow you to explain.
If you ignore wise words like his then you will miss a beautiful part of life.
God i miss you Anthony Bourdain 😢😢😢😢😢😢
@DrinkwithaMexican God don't miss morons either.
Hope whatever is after life is treating you well Tony. Miss you, your antics, your charisma. The world could use you these days.
He make me proud being Vietnamese 😭🙏❤️
In 1990s I had Vietnamese food by my work one or two times. I grew up with Chinese takeout every so often.
What a treasure this man was
Bourdain got me through a long hospital stay. Recovery from brain surgery was augmented by watching his program every day on the Travel Channel.
They say his ghost still haunts Vietnam's streetcarts to this day
Thank you for loving Vietnam! we love you Anthony!
