Anthony Bourdain Tribute Tour in Vietnam (Owners reflect on Bourdain's visit)

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.

That lady was so genuine about her feelings for Anthony it hit me in the feels.

"Vietnam. It grabs you and doesn’t let you go. Once you love it, you love it forever." - Anthony Bourdain. I was very touched by his words. Thk you for your special love

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.

When Bourdain passed I was devastated. Of course, I only knew him from his shows, but man was he brilliant. He was my favorite host of all time. This was a really awesome tribute. Thank you...

My wife and I ate at "The Lunch Lady" last year. I had tears in my eyes while eating wonderful food. Thanks for this.

The Lunch Lady even shared her recipes to public.. what a generous woman. I really want to visit her restaurant.

It's 2020 and still cry when I hear his name, I will be going to Vietnam for my first time next year, and I can't wait to fall in love with Vietnam . You are so sadly missed Anthony Bourdain 💗💗

in Spring 2019 My wife and good friends and neighbors went to Vietnam for 3 weeks. We ate at all the places Mr. Bourdain featured on his shows. It was a great and memorable vacation. RIP Anthony Bourdain and my neighbors and we are doing your BBQ tour in the South when the C19 pandemic ends or flattens...

As a Vietnamese person, I cannot thank Anthony Bourdain enough for loving Vietnam. He has done so much for Vietnam, not just in term of foods but the culture as well. Thank u mr Bourdain, from the bottom of my heart. I truly miss u n Vietnam n all Vietnamese ppl miss u

I'm in tears. I followed his journeys for 20 years and I miss him a lot. He started what YouTubers are doing today. Thank you sonny for covering this. I know he wanted to live in Vietnam I don't know why he just didn't find a place and move there we will always remember him.

As a Vietnamese, when I heard you said "every nuance of this country", I am basically moved to tears. Thank you for everything Bourdain has done to our locals and thank you every single foreign vlogger paying a visit to Vietnam.

I'm so sad that he's gone. But, he left behind such a beautiful legacy of friendship and love of exploration of cultures through food. He is missed.

Lunch lady got me good, I'm a 37 years old dad in tears watching a food show. I need a bowl of phò.

I still miss Bourdain...he's still has so much more to share to us. RIP Anthony.

This was so emotional.. Anthony bourdain was such a special soul. He found other special souls and touched them deeply. Good lord we were lucky to have him

I'm crying in my noodles! This man changed me as a teenage girl. I learned how to approach, enjoy and understand the food, culture and allure of far away lands. I soaked it all in, and am constantly humbled by being alive and aware in the time of Anthony Bourdain.

Anthony may not have felt this during the time of his death. But he was loved the world over.

Visited Vietnam two years ago. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. Amazing food. God willing, I will return one day.

Thank you Anthony for loving my home country and for appreciating not only the food but the people and our culture. You are missed each and every day by so many. Seeing the lunch lady is how we all feel inside without you here. RIP
