The next episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations is quite different from any this season. Not only is it the FINAL episode of this season (what am I going to do on Monday nights), but it is truly a SPECIAL one. Um, wait – is there ANY episode of this show that ISN’T special?
I watched a bit of it today and here’s what you can expect….
There is no food destination in the world like Vietnam. The country is a clash of cultures mixed with a hectic urban pace- where people are serious about eating. It is never a question of where to go eat when in Vietnam, but a question of what you will miss. Tony wanders the streets of Saigon, walking past food stands, sidewalk cafes and hawkers, enjoying sizzling seafood and vegetable crepes, fresh beer, and garlic sautéed seafood.
He also reunites with the current owner of Les Halles, Philippe Lajaunie, for some iconic food that blends French and Vietnamese cuisine, and for a stroll around a local fish market: a loud, smelly, bustling market run mainly by women. They also befriend a water taxi driver who invites them for a true family meal back at his home.
Could Tony handle living in Vietnam for a year to write the great Vietnamese novel?
Don’t miss No Reservations FINAL episode of the season this Monday (March 9th) at 10pm EST on the Travel Channel.
