Luke's Vietnam

Genre: Cooking

Premise: Acclaimed chef Luke Nguyen leaves his restaurant down under (his Vietnamese restaurant, The Red Lantern, in Sydney, Australia, is a hot spot for foodies and those interested in environmentally sustainable establishments) and treks across the country of his heritage. In each stop on his journey he explores not only the food of the region, but its culture and environment. From the the street food of Hanoi and the market culture of Hue to the mountains of Sapa and the waters of Ha Long Bay, where he cooks aboard a junk boat, Luke immerses himself in the culture and the cuisine.
