Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Vietnam

It’s a sad day at The Blot Says…, because The Blot has to announce that tonight’s episode of No Reservations is the last episode of Season 5A. The Travel Channel is actually making us wait until August before we get a crop of all new episodes! I truly hope everyone savors every last minute of tonight’s episode “Vietnam,” because after it’s over there’s no more Tony for at least 6 months. Now that I’ve got all that drama out of the way we can focus on the good stuff, this week’s episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.


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. If you’ve never sampled Vietnamese food you’re really missing out! Check out the video clip from tonight’s episode of No Reservations below to find out about Banh Mi, a hearty Vietnamese sandwich loaded with ham, cucumbers, dressing, and topped off with a fried egg:



Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs Mondays on the Travel Channel at 10/9c.
