    This is my tribute to the late Anthony Bourdain. It was surreal to encounter all these people and places, retracing his footsteps and putting together the story of what happened AFTER the TV broadcast. It would be awesome if other food youtubers did the same. Trevor in Chengdu, Mark in Bangkok and so on. Hope you liked it.
    We've listed all the restaurants and their info in the description box so you can easily visit next time you're in town.
    Next time you're in Vietnam, hit up Onetrip for an amazing food or adventure tour: www.christinas.vn/onetrip/saigon/
    Let me know if you liked this style of video. We can follow up with other restaurants Bourdain visited in Vietnam.

      Flaky 96 amen. My grandpa was stationed in Vietnam twice and he fell in love with it so he moved my moms family out there. They loved it. They moved back to America once my grandpa was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. He died 12 years ago and people he became friends with in Vietnam sent him the most love in the world. I want to go to Vietnam just in memory of him. It is a truly beautiful place.

    My sister visited Vietnam about ten years ago during a remission from cancer. She brought back lots of photos. She said it was such a beautiful country and that despite the terrible things it has been through, the people were incredibly warm and gracious. She was particularly impressed by how people would sit out on the sidewalk in plastic chairs and dine on plastic tables with little stoves everywhere cooking up barbecue. She made me decide to visit after the pandemic releases us from travel restrictions and concerns. I wish I could take her with me, but sadly she succumbed to the cancer finally two years ago. Vietnam is a culinary treasure of the world, and Tony knew that. Thank you people of Vietnam for opening your hearts and educating the rest of the world that it is not the form of government that matters, but what is in the hearts and minds of the people. Much love to you Vietnam.

Just plain wrong as I’m a huge fan of Bourdain and his name and recommendation of this place is being exploited! There’s a ton of bad experiences on tripadvisor.

    Sonny, this was an incredible tribute done in memory of Anthony and it’s one I would think he would have loved because the focus was more on the people he met than on the food he ate. That’s what I always loved about his approach to food travel, that there were always people attached to the food and he’d engage with them in such a caring and respectful way. You did his memory proud Sonny and you are someone who carries on his tradition beautifully while doing it your own way, with enthusiasm for the food while graciously and with humor engaging with the people whether it be food vendors, restaurant staff, or the folks that work right along with you. I hope other food vloggers will do an episode out of respect and appreciation for Anthony as well.

    Anthony Bourdain was ambassador of food and culture, bringing people together. Somehow he mended old wounds around the world caused by our government. Remember the Vietnam war? Vietnamese people are tough with a big heart, they kicked out the Chinese, then the French and the Americans later, and still they managed to preserve their core identity.

    I'm typically very emotionless. My husband makes fun of me cause he will cry watching movies. I once told him food will make me cry. This whole video had me crying. Tony is a legend and a great human being. He was taken from us way to early. I miss watching his passion so much.

      Unless you show no anger or happiness or sadness or just have a robot face your whole life then youre a lie and no youre not emotionless . Emotions are diverse. Everyone claims theyre emotionless but anger or show frustration thats Emotion. Youre not a robot. Usually americans or westerners claim this but are not truly emotionless from a biological perspective

    Thank you so much for doing another great food video, as well as a fitting tribute to Anthony Bourdain. Of all the celebrity chefs, Bourdain, through his various travel programs, has done more to expose the world to small fledgling restaurateurs and street vendors than anyone else has. Bourdain's efforts to bring these small time chefs and business owners to the broader public consciousness not only helped these struggling restaurant owner's financially, but it also introduced many people to cuisines - and via these cuisines, other perspectives - that they otherwise would not have experienced. No greater accolade can be bestowed upon a man than the compliment that he acted as a gateway to expand people's horizons. Mr. Bourdain did that in spades, and his skill and enthusiasm for doing this will be sorely missed. Fortunately, he left a lasting legacy in a plethora of food/travel show hosts, who have drawn inspiration from his work, as is exemplified by your show. Thank you Sonny for carrying on that tradition.

    Seeing this nearly 4 years later not only learning of the channel maybe a year ago still has me in tears, the man was a legend and irreplaceable but like all legends you see his finger prints on so much. For me he is this generations Julia Child just far harder to replicate what he did as only a few like yourselves have been able do something similar to him. So their tear are both of joy and sadness, sad that he is no longer with us but joy because we got so much great from him in the time he was around but also he inspired this channel to hit these hights
