What it Takes: The Craftsmanship of Vietnamese Cooking
from Our New York Table · host Diane Bezucha
When friends John Nguyen and Chef Nhu Ton first jumped into the restaurant world, they were in over their heads. Way over. Today, they run one of the hottest Vietnamese spots in New York City. In this episode, I sit down with John and Nhu, the team behind Manhattan’s Bánh Anh Em. Over bánh mì and bún chả, we talk about their journey from hole-in-the-wall beginnings to the Michelin Guide — and the craftsmanship that transforms simple ingredients into unforgettable dishes. See what we ate! ----more---- EPISODE CREDITS Produced & Edited by Diane Bezucha Additional editing by Christina Mitchell Music “Coronea” by Blue Dot Sessions from the album Marisala, (2017) “Cast in Wicker” by Blue Dot Sessions from the album Aeronaut, (2017) “Periodicals” by Blue Dot Sessions from the album Albany, NY (2015) “City Limits” by Blue Dot Sessions from the album Albany, NY (2015) “Filing Away” by Blue Dot Sessions from the album Crab Shack (2016) Cảnh Ruộng Đồng Quê Bên Bờ Đê - Vietnam Bamboo Flute by Asian_Background_Music Mysteries of Son Doong - Vietnam Travel by Asian_Background_Music Cooking Food Music by BackgroundMusicForVideos Luỹ Tre Xanh Ngát Đầu Làng (Guzheng) - Vietnam BGM by VPRODMUSIC_Asia_BGM
