“New Orleans,” the second episode of No Passport Required, airs tonight on PBS. In this episode of the show produced by Eater, host Marcus Samuelsson heads to New Orleans to learn more about Vietnamese culture, history, and food.
He eats New Orleans-influenced Vietnamese food and Vietnamese-inspired New Orleans dishes, such as banh mi-po’ boy hybrid sandwiches at Banh Mi Boys, Manchu chicken wings, and a local feast with T2 chef Tung Nguyen’s family as part of their celebrations for Tet, the Vietnamese new year. The show also highlights king cakes at Dong Phuong, Pho Nola’s noodle soups, Vietnamese coffee and ice cream at Drip Affogato Bar, and a meal at city Councilwoman Cyndi Nguyen’s hometown favorite, Ba Mien. Here’s how to watch the episode.
