Does anyone here watch the show Top Chef? IF you don't know what it is, its a long-running cooking competition with a new challenge every week. Well in this episode, the challenge involved dividing the group into two teams: Team Vietnam and Team Korea, and prepare a menu to cater for thousands of people and some sort of junket-type event.
Anyways, I thought it was pretty funnny because most of the contestants were white or black and really had no idea what they were doing. They made (sorry can't do accents on this computer) pho and cha gio which was pretty respectable. In the end.....TEAM VIETNAM WON!!!!!!!! (Even though no vietnamese people were actually involved, it still made me happy )
But it was really cool seeing how our cuisine is being recognized on a US show, especially such world renown chefs.
