“Is it the tastiest banh mi in the world? Or was Anthony Bourdain just hung over his shit that day and had a camera jammed in his face?”
Join comedian David Boyle in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol' as he dives into the quirky and somewhat absurd world of food tourism. Boyle shares his experience visiting a famous banh mi place in Hoi An, Vietnam, where the legendary Anthony Bourdain once ate. With his signature humour and candid storytelling, Boyle paints a vivid picture of the 'temple' filled with white, sweaty tourists eager to taste the so-called 'best banh mi in Vietnam'.
