Wow you really get to see the origins of Anthony's shows here
Wow. This is my kind of food journalism.
Goddamn he looks good
I felt unbelievably awkward as a grown man having another grown man pedal me down the street. Amazing food and culture though. The smells are very unique. Not bad, just unique. I got hooked on Vietnamese coffee and have been ever since.
I have no idea how he slurped up that Cobra heart. Still beating… He was so brave. I couldn't do it.
For me, without doubt and hands down the best South East Asian food. Brilliant, thank you Vietnam for letting me live, work and eat in your amazing country.
Please put more please put more episodes newer ones please
He said it right, it’s just a different culture….. I probably try the heart , fried bones and fried meat but the soup or sushi or that big grub? No thanks! Hahahahaha….
you're doing Gods work by posting these cooks tour episodes in 4k
15:44 Minced Bat lmao, the subtle foreshadowing
This is suuuuuuuuper calming. Thanks Tony, your aura lives on.
These used to be on Netflix
The cobra heart? Revolting. Terrifiing. I must try it.
love the continuity error in the market with the black and white shirts 😹
do someone know what is the name of that music played (ska/reggae) on the snake eating part?
First time seeing clay pot rice where they break the clay pots.
No disrespecting to Anthony, but it's eating weird animals like that, creating SARS and COVID.
All these restaurants which were in this original AB’s show are still here today, but the host has gone to a better place, we will remember you Mr. Bourdain
Waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for the 🦂 kabobs, and all we get is a beating 🐍❤
I love this episode.
If Tony had thought about mada Gao and about Vietnam that night in the hotel in paris I think he would still be with us😢 I MISS YOU TONY
No no no don't eat it …..
This was entirely new to Americans at the time, wasn't it? I mean, travel in Vietnam, the food. Tony even pronounces the famous pho incorrectly. It was all still so new. I remember watching this with my wife, who was a huge fan of Food Network. She found Tony off-putting at first – too New York, too hipster, whatever – but she came around soon enough. I remember us agreeing, Vietnam looks amazing. It was still unknown to most of us.
It’s good.
damn the snake heart… i see now why Tony smokes so much
Madam Gao’s food is making me salivate.
Hey! Thanks for uploading this episode, this one is a gem!
Still deeply saddened he's gone, he had such a way with people and their cultures
Anthony is very respectful as a guest. Unlike vloggers today,. Urghh
he was defiantly wasted!!!!!!!!!!
He really did make an excellent point about how western culture doesn't give a second thought about eating oysters, clams, lobsters etc. So what is so gross about eating grubs and snakes?
He talks of our system…it wasn't mine. I grew up on a farm. After married more than half of the meat on my table was brought in with either my 16 gage or my husband's 12 guage…or the end of a rod and reel. But I really get a kick out of watching someone that has always had his meat and dairy products delivered to his business, home or market..
Snapping turtle heart will continue to beet for about 10 days when put under running water…maybe needs to be kept damp entire time…and snake needs to be marinated …buttermilk works or pickled..
In the Philippines they make that fertilised duck egg too.
Called 'Balot'. Mine had little webbed feet hanging out of it.
Abundant thanks for making these early Bourdain episodes available.
omg this episode was wild.. a beating cobra heart! lol anthony is incredible
as i sit at work in the kitchen i realize he is the reason im here today. rip
Madame Gao!!! 11:50–11:51 😭😭
Great show. Just an idea: Could you include a time stamp on this title so I know when this show was made. It must be produced few years ago because Mr Bourdain loooks so young.
YouTube has increased the ads and squeezed in the interruptions with ads too much now.
wow they have "balut" in Vietnam as well. That's a filipino dish
RIP to both Madame Ngoc and Tony! 🙏🏼
