Obama Enjoys Noodles With Anthony Bourdain During Historic Trip to Vietnam

The modest meal marked the end of an important milestone for the two countries, as the U.S. lifted a decades-old arms embargo.

"...for so long, a bitter enemy of America." Not true. The US and Vietnam restored diplomatic relations in 1995.

I like how Anthony and Obama aren’t going for the obvious Vietnamese food which is Pho. It tells me that Anthony is communicating there’s more to it and there’s a bigger picture (with food of course). If I were traveling I would try different foods because it’s exclusive to that area and it’s an experience I can personally carry. I think that’s why Anthony always go to the local places people would eat at.

Rest In Peace Mr. Bourdain!! Loved your TV series and passion for food

May Anthony Bourdain rest in Peace. Depression can be treated, most times very successfully. He suffered from depression from what I have read. My heart goes out to his family, and most importantly, his daughter.

“Praising the president’s chopstick skills before picking up the $6 tab for the leader of the free world”...

I swear that sounds like something Bob Dylan would’ve wrote in his early days

I recently went to this restaurant and they have something called the "Obama Combo." It's pretty much the same dishes Obama had when he visited. However, this restaurant is waaay overhyped. You can get better bun cha at other spots in Hanoi.

I was lucky enough to have eaten Bun Cha in this very restaurant July 2019 while on a month travelling through Vietnam, I will go back someday I hope.

These are two awesome guys, Mr Bourdain we mourn that you are not somewhere being you

[rennnnsemml]

[arnoldpangilinan]

Im here just for the late Tony Bourdain.

[bartonbishoff]

I ate at Bun Cha Huong Lien tonight. Food was great. Dinner for two is about 6 bucks with some nice cold Ba Ha Noi.

Obama’s such a cool guy 😎
Will miss Bourdain

[danielwilson]

The actual episode is cool as hell. President Obama arrived with a background of James Brown singing “Pay The Cost To Be Boss”.

[EABHnavy]

What a great fucking man... Obama is pretty cool too.

[jvs]

Obama the “coolest” president ever!!!!
RIP Anthony.. why? We miss you
