Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (2016)

Anthony Bourdain and President Obama share bún chả and a cold Hanoi beer on plastic stools. Their table is upstairs, under glass, with the bowls still on it.

What to order

The "Combo Obama": bún chả, a fried seafood roll and a Hanoi beer

Getting in: Walk in; lunch is busiest. Point at the combo.

Grilled pork in a sweet-sour broth with rice noodles and herbs, the Hanoi lunch, at the shop that made it world-famous. It's still a noisy local canteen, which is why it works.
