We Accidentally Found Anthony Bourdain's Favorite Bánh Xèo

We eat some delicious bánh xèo (Vietnamese flour pancake) and gỏi cuốn (Vietnamese spring roll) at a restaurant tucked away in District 1, Saigon, Vietnam. This is one of the restaurants that Anthony Bourdain ate at!
The exact name and location of the eatery are:
Bánh Xèo 46A
46 Đinh Công Tráng, Phường Tân Định, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh
Banh xeo is commonly referred to as a Vietnamese pancake or crepe. It is made with a layer of thin flour that is fried and then topped with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, and mung beans. You can find bánh xèo with other various toppings as well. The banh xeo is also served alongside various rau (vegetables) which include both herbs and lettuce that you use to wrap the banh xeo into rolls. You can then dip the banh xeo into various sauces, but most commonly into fish sauce (nuoc mam).
Goi cuon is a spring roll. It is lettuce, rice noodles, shrimp, and pork, all wrapped in rice paper and served in a roll. This roll is dipped into a variety of sauces which include mam nem, nuoc mam, and thong den (hoisin sauce).
We ate these Vietnamese delights and then gave you a signature Dank Rank Food Review.
Any foodies traveling to or living in Viet Nam should definitely try out banh xeo and goi cuon!

They don't seem friendly at all, I would not eat there with that kind of attitude. Glad you kept the spirit of video going Tyler!

[@BigTimeBentley]

Some were cold but others that worked there seemed friendly

[@LinhHoaTran]

I am eating my boring dinner watching your video. The foods you have and your attitude cheer me up and help elevate my appetite much better. You have beautiful wife there.

[@LinhHoaTran]

Banh xeo skin is made of rice flour mixed with tumeric power for the yellow color, and sometimes with condensed coconut juice, and eggs and salt for crunchiness.

[@CuttingTools001]

She is so lovely, I love her 😍❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@thompsonnguyen1870]

Bánh xèo một món ăn ngon! Tôi thích ăn món này lắm.

Thank you!

[@tringo999]

Wow, I grew up just down the street on duong Dinh Cong Trang from where you two are eating, and I was born just around the corner across the street on Duong Hai Ba Trung. Btw, just a little history ,that banh xeo eatery used to be a local security booth before the fall of Saigon in 1975. Banh xeo is of my favorite foods 😊

[@BigTimeBentley]

Wow very interesting. I’m very interested in history so thank you for this comment. It’s cool that this was in your neighborhood!

[@tringo999]

@@BigTimeBentley yes it certainly was and we also happened to be from the South bay as well. Btw, from what I heard it is probably the most popular place in district 1 if not HCM city. Nice video!

[@BigTimeBentley]

@@tringo999 very cool thanks for the insight!

[@phanduc3365]

it's the same banh xeo place that Anthony Bourdain been to.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Interesting I didn’t know that. Pretty cool

[@chesterphung1143]

Yummy and delicious cheers great job bros. ❤❤

[@BigTimeBentley]

[@hqp7198]

Enjoy watching your videos, I'm envious as I am Viet Kieu in the USA and your Vietnamese is better than mine 😞. Keep up the nice videos bro.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thanks! 😃

[@danhtrinh1769]

You know it's good when your GF does a dance at the 6:00 timestamp!

[@BigTimeBentley]

Haha yep

[@bearmerica6668]

I like spring rolls with green onions. They are hard to find in the US though.

[@shauncampbell969]

Hi guys. I'm eating a Garlic pickle and pepper jack cheese, but I'm pretending; that I'm eating, what you guys are eating. Shaun of NYC

[@BigTimeBentley]

Haha cheers. I love pepper Jack cheese

[@TuanNguyen-mo5hz]

Herbal essences, a grain of fish sauce 😀, I like that you just say words that come to your mind

[@BigTimeBentley]

Haha cheers

[@doodahgurlie]

Rule of thumb of eating Vietnamese foods where you have to wrap things up in greens and such...use the biggest leaf as the base, pile on the other herbs (and if it comes with noodles, such as how fried spring rolls are typically eaten at home, pile that on), then finally add the protein or in this case banh xeo (or fried spring roll). Wrap it all up snugly/tightly and then dip.

[@danhtrinh1769]

It's called artistic license at 24:16!

[@BigTimeBentley]

cheers lol

[@BigTimeBentley]

Lol

[@zakman1964]

Hope traffic was light on

[@gapwedge1742]

Love the two of ya a lot. The gf is cute AF and is definitely finding her voice and getting more comfortable with you and your routine and antics … fun to see. But, geezus man, does she have a name? And once named, as I am constantly reminding my son, it is impolite to to refer to a person in your presence in the pronoun. Just sayin’, and meant purely constructively. Don’t ever change.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Her name is Jane. I appreciate the positive feedback cheers

[@ohigho9717]

Slob fest style 🐷. Poor Trang, just can't take you to any nice places 😁. I am going through all the vlogs I missed when I started watching. I left the ads roll. i hope it helps you. Thanks for the great content.

[@BigTimeBentley]

You're the best OhighO!

[@chaub7268]

Bentley you are so funny!

[@BigTimeBentley]

thank you!

[@Mayflower6871]

Banh xeo Hue style is more delicious with a different type of dipping sauce.

[@chaub7268]

You have to put the mustard leaves under the bánh xèo, the herds is on the top of the bánh xèo, then you roll from the outside the leaves to the end

[@BigTimeBentley]

nice

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

It's not Dua Chua , but Do Chua made of pickled carrot and daikon . Dua Chua is actually made of pickled Mustard Lettuce ( Cai Be Xanh in Vietnamese ) Your gf's Vietnamese is not as good as her English . I am pretty sure that she was raised or had studied in the States for many years and just came back lately to VIetnam .

[@BigTimeBentley]

She was raised in Vietnam and has spent her whole life here. Maybe she just made a mistake

[@doodahgurlie]

It seems a lot of the young girls in Vietnam don't know much about ingredients or how the food is made due to just eating out and not questioning what something is or how it's made.

[@Kookees]

lmao bro u crack me up

[@BigTimeBentley]

haha cheers

[@transonbach1346]

bánh xèo 35 đinh công tráng thì nổi tiếng lắm

The girl gave up on you. She can dress you up but can't take you anywhere..😅😊😊

[@BigTimeBentley]

lol

[@chaub7268]

That spring rolls you should dip in the peanut butter sauce or fish sauce is better .

[@BigTimeBentley]

good idea

In HCMC, there is no bad banh xeo. Come on 8.1?

[@kearabevels]

@@BigTimeBentley yep

[@Thinhpham_2080]

Hey Benley, it’s more like “đồ chua”, “dưa chua” is different, it’s the northern style green mustard pickle!
