Boyle shares his experience visiting a famous banh mi place in Hoi An, Vietnam, where the legendary Anthony Bourdain once ate. With his signature humour and candid storytelling, Boyle paints a vivid picture of the 'temple' filled with white, sweaty tourists eager to taste the so-called 'best banh mi in Vietnam'.
