When Obama Ditched State Dinners for Noodles With Tony | Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown

Vietnam grabs you immediately and never really lets you go; it’s a beautifully chaotic place that smells intoxicatingly of exhaust fumes, sweet roasted pork, and fish sauce. We pull up tiny blue plastic stools on the damp pavement to slurp blistering, life-affirming bowls of noodles, chasing the kind of culinary perfection that only exists in the humid, buzzing alleys of Hanoi. It is a magical, uncompromising country that has always felt like a second home to me—so much so that I even managed to drag the President of the United States into a working-class joint for some cold local beer and cheap bun cha. So grab a pair of chopsticks, embrace the relentless madness of the motorbike traffic, and watch us dive headfirst into the absolute greatest food landscape on earth.
