My American Dad’s Favorite Meal in Vietnam

[@PerfectoKiss]

Your dad is like most daddies, which is the focus is in taking care of business than chat time.

[@Travelfanatic82]

Your dad showed how he loved it by clearing his plate instead of talking.

[@BigTimeBentley]

very true

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Now that's a man that has his priorities right! Lol.

[@Screwdriver346]

Looks like your dad doesn’t like to talk or not in the mood. Respect, when she called him “dad”. You got a good one buddy. I was in Saigon last month but missed my opportunity of eating there. Your Vietnamese is great.

[@BigTimeBentley]

I appreciate the compliment on my Vietnamese...I think my dad is still not quite as use to being filmed, but him and I talk a lot more comfortably off camera

[@kientran5519]

You speak very good vietnamese Bentley and look just like your Dad. Thanks for sharing.

[@bengonzalez5673]

Those portions are HUGE!!!! unlike the ones they have here in the states.

[@dudenpham-ez7hn]

Your dad is so handsome ❤.!!

[@thatevanguy1480]

looks so young too. makes me wonder, when did he have T?! when he was 20? lol

[@fredlin6303]

It's no surprise that Dad has a good appetite. He is a marathon runner!

[@leehaseley2164]

I make com tam a few times per month at home for my family. Everyone loves it. My dad has made me promise to take him yo eat in in February

[@BigTimeBentley]

that's awesome!

[@philly5164]

Dad approved 9/10 is consider as perfect as it gets! He’s a runner so he’s got a good ass metabolism to eat big portions 🎉🎉

[@BigTimeBentley]

very true

[@tingle6048]

We love your Dad as much as you , Tyler . Do have any brother & sister ? ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

You're amazing 😂. Your dad is very nice, very cool too. Your gf is super nice, she speaks good english and you not bad in vietnamese haha. Welcome to VN. By the way I lived in CA for 20 years, I like ur country so hopefully you like mine too.

[@33owls]

yeah I can attest that place is awesome! Makes me want to book a trip back to Vietnam just so I can eat there!

[@MekongMitch]

I usually use a spoon to help cut the chop with Com Suong........

I swear, your dad looks like an actor I've seen in some movie.

[@Ruebz_f30]

I thought the same thing when I first saw him. The guy looks like a Hollywood star. He just has that look.

[@NordicAdvRider]

He looks a like a younger Jeremy Irons

[@xdgs567z]

Dang your dad has a big appetite….i bet he is now going to eat com tam as soon as he gets back to the states 😂

[@BigTimeBentley]

haha probably

[@JenniferGee-t4k]

How cool that your dad visited you and that he was open to the culture, food and language. I have to go home to see my folks, and I only live a few hour's flight away, but both of us have to fight to get to the airports (westcoast). The hardest part is getting to Seatac and LAX, or anywhere in Socal.

[@BobSlowly4Me]

Duuuummmaaaaa does your dad like your gf? No talking when the food is tasty. Your dad & gf just crushing.

[@hisnameisvu]

My first meal when I landed in Saigon this year and my last meal before leaving Saigon, this dish to me is incredibly tasty.

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah it's excellent

[@SnapshotTechTips]

Delicious pork rice combination and pickle too, brother

[@BigTimeBentley]

Yes it was

[@t-rex8520]

you got the best place for Com Tam suon bi cha trung, Phu nhuan

[@ChrissieSM]

Com tam is the favorite dish of the Cheveriers, Dustin's parents. They found a very good com tam restaurant in Little Saigon near LA.

[@BigTimeBentley]

oh interesting...do you know the name of it?

[@ChrissieSM]

@@BigTimeBentley , sorry, Dustin did mention it, and showed the name very quickly. You could ask Trang to look at the video. It is not the first restaurant, but the second one. They said it was the best com tam, nearly as good as what they had in Vietnam.

[@doodahgurlie]

Actually, that's Dustin's dad's favorite. His mom likes it, too, but his mom liked bun cha better, if I remember correctly when his parents visited Vietnam.

[@ln3995]

Tyler, name of the restaurant is called Com Tam Sa Bi Chuong.

[@paradigmshift7541]

@@ln3995 yo @BigTimeBentley I just googled the place that was suggested, it looks dank af. gotta be one of the best in OC. have you taken your dad to eat Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (Charbroiled Pork & Eggrolls with vermicelli noodles)? as an Americanized Vietnamese, i'm quite the expert at easy go to meals for non-Vietnamese people 😂 the hardest part about learning new foods is the first experience, because for me it's hard to really enjoy on the first go around, but the 2nd time i like to dive in and go for it as I kinda got the gist and am ready to try with training wheels off.

Hi Bently, Nice family reunion - ☺ - wished that your dad had a mic so we can hear him Thanks

[@avuky191]

"Ghiền" means Addicted of something. "Ba" means Brother-3 or Bro./Amigo. "Ba' also means Dad. This dish must be that good to be addicted to.

[@BigTimeBentley]

haha it was pretty decent!

[@nn3444]

3 ghien means 'addiction to bi (1), suon (2) and cha(3) ...cheers

[@dquangc]

I thought it simply means “dad is addicted to it” Ba is father NOT brother dude!

[@kellyt8836]

Cái tên Ba ghiền là tên của ông nội của ông chủ. Bà mẹ gợi ý lấy tên đó rồi giờ thành thương hiệu.

[@soidoggystyle2030]

Your Dad will be looking for all the Com Tam places when he gets back to the USA. You know what they say, once you tastes Com Tam, you can never live without in your life at lease once every few months. I don't know what I like better Com Tam or Bahn Cuon, but I have got to have one of them once every couple of months in the USA.

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah those are both solid dishes

[@soidoggystyle2030]

@@BigTimeBentley Do a video with your dad eating the best bahn cuon place in Saigon. He will become addicted to bahn cuon too when he goes home to America. Dustin introduced his parents to com tam in Saigon, so now they are driving all over Little Saigon in southern california looking for com tam places to eat back home. They are addicted to com tam even in the usa.

[@scottsterling4713]

Bro if you’re trying to pretend to be cool and cultured then at least do some research. It’s banh coun not the bahn spelling that is commonly a mistake.

[@soidoggystyle2030]

@@scottsterling4713 Bro, if you are going to be so petty and spell check me, then be sure your spelling is correct too. It is cuon and not coun. I don't sweat the small stuff like spelling when I am just trying to send my stream of thought via a key board, and frankly, I don't give a f#ck what you think about me, so kiss my ass.

[@anchoimaimai]

0:13 Ghiền means being addicted. Ba in this context is 3rd in family standing (but in actuallity, it is 2nd in standing, because 1st in standing starts at “hai” which is 2, but I digress). So Ba Ghiền means the shop is run by Mr/Ms #3 who is actually 2nd oldest, and the foods are very addictive 😉😵‍💫🤪

[@33owls]

does anyone know what sauce they coat these pork chops in while they are being cooked?

How do you compare to Applebee meals and Com Tam? It looks like your dad really enjoyed it

[@BigTimeBentley]

haha I've rarely every had Applebee's but I'd say com tam is much better

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

I really, really want to go to Vietnam. But I'm getting on to 60, I have some health challenges that make it particularly difficult to go alone and no one wants to go with me. I pretty much have to win the lotto first.

[@HappyDays-75]

Did you say Rau Ma? Penny worth? You’re like me…that’s what I would order. I read that the plant helps with memory…one of the reasons why I drink it.

[@ChrissieSM]

Do they have knives in that restaurant? It would be easier to cut the meat as it is so large.

[@BigTimeBentley]

No they don't really use knives here in Vietnam

[@aren1998]

You can ask them to cut the meat for you. They'll be willing to do so. Normally they'll cut the cutlet for you even you don't ask. 😊

[@Thanhno1234]

Using hand is better than using knife if u want to enjoy the dish in right way. It will be more dilicious.

[@Adventure_Quan]

What was your dad's rating? I'm about to drive 30 minutes to get some BBH and com suong nuong.

[@BigTimeBentley]

pretty sure he gave it a 9.0

[@binbin9]

subbed because you said Pho perfectly.

[@sirhc5921]

for the longest time i thought it was called rice bath xD cause you would shower the rice with the fish sauce idk why it translates to broken rice xD

[@ChrissieSM]

I have a question: would the dish be as nice if it was served with unbroken rice?

[@BigTimeBentley]

probably...but I think a bit of the staple and the signature of the dish is the small pellets of broken rice

[@davidwade490]

Nope...the cookef full grain rice is usually too wet for the dish ...cooked broken rice has to be dry enough to absorb the scallion oil, juice from the grilled pork, running egg yolk and fish sauce dressing ...the dish goes to another level....heavenly

[@Dieuminhco]

Yes your dad eat it the right way always dump the sweet fish sauce all over your plate
