What’s more than bread, pickles, and pork? A story of resilience, rebellion, and reinvention. In this episode, we trace the journey of the Bánh Mì.
From its colonial roots in French-occupied Vietnam to its status as a global street food icon. We discover how Saigon’s street vendors transformed a foreign baguette into a distinctly Vietnamese masterpiece, and how refugees carried it across oceans, turning it into a worldwide sensation.
We uncover why every bite of Bánh Mì is a taste of history, identity, and unyielding creativity. This story is as delicious as it is inspiring.
