Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (2005–2012): Season 1, Episode 4 - Vietnam: The Island of Mr. Sang - full transcript

A vicarious thrill ride as Tony discovers Vietnam from the buzzing streets of Hanoi to the rural beauty of the Montagnards, and the mysterious Island of Mr. Sang. This episode shows exactly why Tony has been completely seduced by Vietnam and its people.

[inaudible].

You know how bond films always start
with double oh seven ending a previous

mission. Tat was cool.

[inaudible]

four days. Totally bored. Okay.

Maybe I'm just a chef from New
York, but that's really me.

Risking life and limb for purposes
of entertainment. No stuntman,

not even at the table.

After spending 28 years in the kitchen,
my life now is pretty damn exotic. Okay.

Not exactly James Bond, exotic,
but I do have a license to eat,

but my next mission to Vietnam,
truth may be stranger than fiction.



[inaudible] I'm Anthony Bordain.

I write, I travel

and I'm hungry for more.

[inaudible]

no [inaudible].

I stood on my feet in kitchens
cooking professionally for 28 years.

That's who I am.

That's the way I look at the world and
that's the way I'm always going to look

at the world.

[inaudible] [inaudible] lately I'm
living a double life. What do I say?

Am I passport application means of
employment, chef, author, TV travel,

knucklehead. Oh honey, got it.
Phone Call Line to save. I'm on it

these days. I guess. I traveled around
the world and eat and drink for a living.

Mr Bourdain preparations for your
journey to Vietnam are complete.



You were to run the go
within one Lynn in annoyed.

Oh $800 your transport is waiting,
sir. Good luck and Godspeed

didn't want Lynn. He's an old friend.

He's been my guide on trips to Vietnam
and so we someone I o great loyalty to.

How long ago did Vietnam?

These days between the exotic
destinations and the oncall travel and the

Martinis. I think, damn, I'm living
a life better than James Bond.

Nobody's trying to kill
me yet. I don't know.

Bobby flay might be a little pissed at
the chopper waiting for me and fueled up

on the pad. Please. Thank you. By the way,

this cell phone also limits a powerful
electric charge and stopping charging

rhino in its tracks. This trip,
it's a payback mission. Okay.

Lynn works for the foreign ministry. Sure.

He reports on my activities to the
sinister sounding peoples' committee,

but he's a friend and when a friend has
been that good to you, ask for a favor.

You don't ask you the sides.

It's Vietnam.

[inaudible] Vietnam.

Mysterious. It's
beautiful. It's unknowable.

It's one of my favorite places on earth
across roads where nearly every aspect

of the culture, religion, government,

and queasy have at some point in history
been influenced by a foreign power.

Yet it remained something uniquely
more than the sum of its parts.

A place, a few culinary inhibitions,

endless hospitality with
a strong inner identity,

but there's no other place like it.

[inaudible]

I'm standing outside the hotel
metropole in the capital city of Hanoi.

It's where writers,

spies and the infamous have always stayed
for decades of waiting for my always

busy friend Lynn. There is,

he's a man with multiple
agendas and figuring them
all out can keep him in busy.

Nice. Right? Hey doing all
right. You're good. Dry.

It want to be wild. I have no idea
what Lynn has planned for this trip.

Only did, it involves multiple stops
and ends on a mysterious island.

[inaudible]

fries were on a motor

[inaudible]

so was the rest of Henoi all at the same
time it seems I'm reasonably confident

in Lynn's driving skills, but there
are some white knuckle moments

and helmets are apparently
optional. Low Red Lights.

[inaudible]

nice boat. Yeah, we were in a
godawful hurry to get somewhere.

This is my a place I offered to come here.

[inaudible]

okay. Easily you to things over. Been
shot, sound sensible and smells delicious.

Tony, if we are the last gas of
the day, we're, we're very lucky.

We're also lucky to be here in one piece.

I see a place where I have
income for lunchtime after work.

Your office is nearby. It's nearby.
Just about 10 minutes drive.

You're gonna see moonshot two paths.
This is first part [inaudible]

right? And then, yeah,

guys, the grilling meat,
green on the charcoal fire.

Deceptively simple. A makeshift Hibachi
right on the sidewalk, a dark sitting,

trusted storefront open to the street.

The bunch master fans,

the Coles read to just
the right temperature for
grilling the outside of the

pork without drying the inside.

[inaudible]

the from the marinaded
pork sizzling into smoke,

which penetrates the meat with its
own flavor. The aid of a trustee fan,

the rest of the smoke is free advertising
for the ring passers by with it's

alluring set

that may have two types of plants.
Here I go and I go back. Oh really?

That'd be years of moonshot problem

guys called now in the sauce.

The sauce at [inaudible] with garlic
[inaudible] a little bit sour.

Smells good, so we'd like this
visit. Yeah, put it in here,

so got a dip it in there I think. Oh yeah.

That's the way you like this.
Don't forget the bullet.

A little green and into your Boone Shaw.

You add a mixture of crunchy Greens and
hot peppers along with condiments like

pickled garlic and line juice. I'm
going to watch you do yours first. Yeah,

not shy on the peppers. Even
made them all shower and we made,

bless our [inaudible]. Everything
is a mass making a moonshot.

One could say it's a suspiciously
democratic dish. Slap on of that.

All of these elements, I'm going to
become very quiet while you wait,

but because she's so worth nearly every
lunch after work hours I came here and

it's silently, well not exactly silently

above the sounds of the cooking. The city

and even the motor bikes can be heard.

The sounds of two happily
slurping Boone shopping

to the Vietnamese as
with many Asian cultures,

loud slurping of moodles is
not rude at all. In fact,

it's a sign you're enjoying your meal
and I can slurp with the best of them.

All the solutions

[inaudible] it's,

I'm trying to think of like, have
you ever come to New York? What?

My favorite lunch place? I'll bet
you've never had a pastrami sandwich.

That's something that I got to hook
you up with one of those send be one.

I wonder if they'll ship federal express
you up this Romney Sandwich the Second

Avenue Deli. Wait a minute. HQ
Want to be able to handle that

code. Stromae [inaudible] code Stromae

heading back to the hotel. Metropol then
advises me get a good night's sleep.

I still don't know
Lynn's ultimate purpose.

[inaudible] take a dry.

I'm up and out of the metropole early
and relieved to see that my traveling

companions are Lynn's father,
father in law and sister.

All I know is we're headed
for the mountains and a
tribe called the white tie.

Now don't be lulled into distraction
by the scenery whizzing past my window.

Sure. Vietnam's countryside is
beautiful, pastoral, charming.

This is a dangerous drive to be taking.
I have to trust that Lynn has my back

pretty nervous about these people.

They didn't let Americans in fact come
up to areas like this for a long time

because these groups had a history of
collaborating with Americans and before

that the French is that we're never
too fond of central government.

Higher and higher.

We go sometimes above the clouds stopping
at a roadhouse eatery in a town that

looks closed for business.

Lynn says not to worry after all he's
got his foreign minister credentials.

You know my boy scout experience clearly
pay off now. Remember, trustworthy,

loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave,

clean and reverent. All words
that describe me, I think

it's really cute. The kids ride by on
their bikes and motorcycles. Hello.

I think I'm eating a small
wooden creature for lunch.

Scout is supposed to be prepared,

but I hope one of us as toilet paper and
I better double up on the immodium Lynn

returns in the restaurant is
miraculously open for business. Okay,

so a man, what's for lunch? For lunch?
They have some has a name on check out.

Okay. What kind of animal could we be
talking about? I guess it's a squeezer.

Squeezable. What's a squeezable? I don't
know and lean isn't too sure either.

Forest creature is the
best I can get out of him.

[inaudible]

fake, whatever it is.
They're not a weasel. Oh,

this does not look good. First
of all, it's unrecognizable.

Secondly, the place has been closed
for how long? How old is this?

Squeezable then tries mightily
to put my mind at ease.

This is not there anymore. It's not in
the right boat with not a danger, so,

oh, okay, good. My conscience is clear,
whatever it is at this point I think,

I don't want to know

[inaudible]

but the constant hacking
makes it hard not to wonder.

[inaudible]

they might.

Barbara.

I told her that it's not easy to find
out z good address in the place. I, uh,

just a strange there. Uh,

actually I had to convince her
to encourage her to open now,

but it's not the day of
opening her shop today. Oh. Oh.

I'm glad she finished

though.

I suspect it's Lynn's impeccable Cami
credentials that got us this table.

The staff seem happy enough to serve

here. The entire menu consists
of local food products.

More forest creatures make an
appearance in the beverage selection.

What the hell is that?
Oh, you must try this.

This is something very special. Says
the proprietor. Something very special.

How am I? Blood runs cold
when I hear those words.

There's rice whiskey
infused with insects, rice,

whiskey with bird carcass with snakes,
and of course the really good stuff.

Some whiskey made from
the stomach of bamboo.

Yes. Shaken not stirred,
if you will. My good man.

Unfortunately, the local health tonic
has always offered to special guests.

He looks as it has been
here for a long time.

So long as it says loop,

this is a system. This is good
for [inaudible]. He didn't kill,

kill, kill the stomach. Excellent
cause and cure all in one beverage.

Dried stomach. Oh yeah.

Strong and bitter.

I bet it'd be really good for my
face. I want to turn inside out

pointed black Friday and boiled whatever
it is. Okay. It's not that bad. I hope.

What does this taste like?

Oh, waiter. There's
something. Sharpen my suit.

This. He's the head of the anymore.

It's all over the body. Oh,

so we're eating porcupine. I
feel better now. No problem.

Okay. Mystery solved. At least
I know what squeezable is now

from the boils to the, to the sub aide.

I will. I wish

I knew

[inaudible].

Tom has over 50 different
ethnic minority groups.

The vast majority of whom live
in these northern mountains.

The French called the mountain
yards or mountain teams.

The CIA who use them
just called them yards.

They've been around for thousands of
years. Indigenous people of Vietnam,

they're preferred traditionally
to keep to themselves

the history of making
trouble for the commies.

It's only a fairly recent development
that Lynn can even show us all this

[inaudible].

Shouldn't we be taking
this a little slower?

These roads are treacherous.
Talk about a view to a kill.

How can these guys be sleeping?
One bad turn and we're toast.

A heap of crumbled metal and crushed
bones and this vehicle will not be

sprouting wings and turning into a mini
airplane and that squeeze UL is not

sitting well on this twisting road. I'm
going to toss my porcupine any minutes.

I guess I'll die another day.

Hope for some of the hairiest road
I've ever driven. Nice scenery, Huh?

Mock village in north Vietnam's
my true valley. I'd never,

they make it eyes on
anything like have you,

I haven't even a cynical bastard like
double o seven would have to pause and

wonder. How the hell do
you traveled back in time?

Utterly fascinated by Vietnamese
price, farming and irrigation.

As you can see it's you know, backbreaking
work done largely by women. You know,

just the way they raise and lower the
water levels and plant transplant, rice,

centuries, centuries old, fiendishly
intricate and stunningly beautiful.

Surrounded 360 degrees by breathtaking,
magnificent mountains, locks,

rice patties are sheltered from
the seasons and its residents.

A tribe referred to is white and tie
are largely sheltered from the outside

world.

It's like pulled up on a
bike. Go look on my camera,

like to make your day.

It's a different world even
by Vietnamese standards.

Just getting into this cool place
that's like these to get CIA officers.

I will be a happy man.

It's beautiful.

He know the story of the holidays
on this thing. No long time ago,

I said a lot of animals
from forest coming back,

so they don't want to be
disturbed by tiger by lion,

so they leave on the second
floor and not in Asia.

Take on the duplex livestock
below. People upstairs.

Just mind the steps when drunk.

They ain't Tony, our host,

Mr Neon invites us up to see
what's cooking for dinner.

Yes, I'll watch my head. Yeah. Kitchen

[inaudible]

in the kitchen. The feeling of
stepping into another time continues.

Nice views on the kitchen
window. Hey, iron chef,

try this.

Not a Cuisinart or a blender or a tool
or a cooking method invented in the last

millennium. This is a leaf bar.

This is a [inaudible] with the
grip treat lips, [inaudible] park,

which has already so good
with the, this is Sammy.

Can we agree with on the phone

there's local fresh water, fish, steamed
and banana leaves and what's this?

This [inaudible] from lamb.
Lamb rice says my host,

proudly a rare variety that
grows in high elevation.

It has a unique flavor
and texture tonight.

We're enjoying it in the traditional
way, cooked in bamboo long time ago.

When people go into the forest as they
do not have a lot of water because they

just put the rise inside the bamboo chain,
then they just bring it on the fine.

It steams inside the bamboo.

There's a huge amount of food
being prepared and when I asked,

glean if we can help out,

he reminds me that we're not the only
guests of honor and I'll be needed

elsewhere.

I present the chairman of
the local peoples' Committee,
our man in Lac village,

or more accurately the
central government's man.

Tony has been here this morning
waiting for us and we came late. Oh,

this guy is no bundle of fun. In fact,

these suck in the fun
right out of the room.

Would the gentleman care for a beer?

The chairman is not pleased.
We're late, worse, far,

far worse and even more
terrifying danger looms.

People's Committee Guy Tells Lynn
we have to make things right.

Tony can your first time to Waco? Yes,

I said it so that my show is
in the initial step towards,

I mean that's really Bergman.

So I hope that a tool is a voice at TV.

My Joe will be more well known to the
world over and more tourists when come.

I think a people who see this show
will find it irresistible. They will,

they'll want to come very badly.

It would be wonderful if he can
have dinner with us tonight. Oh,

I would be honored. Okay. Did I
say kiss? Oh, the countryside.

It turns out all the chairman wanted was
to take us to dinner and afterwards he

adds, you'll join me in a test of
skill. Lynn says it involves dancing,

dancing. No Way. I don't do dancing.
Does Sean Connery Dance? Hell,

even Roger Moore didn't dance. This
is not good. This is not good at all.

The Sun drops behind the
mountains around Locke village,

a place few westerners have
ever seen. And when it's night,

you can't see a damn thing.

Okay.

Wow. This is dark, like total
freaking blackness. Oh, excuse me.

I didn't see Mr People's Committee
Honcho inside dinner is ready.

Let's get the party started.

Tonight's primary mission drink Mr joy
boy under the table and quickly get him

so looped he won't be a rent a
bummer. This could take some doing.

Yeah.

Oh for

[inaudible] it's a rice whiskey and
as part of the fermentation process,

a ginger leaf goes back a long, long
time too. But let's see how hard it is.

Cheers. Happy. There are not too
many things I'm really good at,

but this I think I can do drink up
dude. Jello shot. Yeah, your shooters.

Oh, swamp.

[inaudible]

okay. This isn't going so well.

What? What are these handsome
gentlemen who thinks? No,

no.

Double o seven we'd probably just nail
this guy with a tranquilizer dart,

but that would be wrong
and I'm fresh out. Yeah.

I'm for diversionary
tactics. Talk about the food.

Vietnamese believe in something
called comprehensive eating.

It means eating with
all five of the senses,

all of the dishes laid out at once so
we can appreciate the appearance and the

aroma

in which the same way as when you
move outside of the cities in America.

More rural areas like the deep south,

the flavors are much more
vibrant and much more savory,

much stronger and the rock
gut, much, much meaner.

Nope, this is rocket fuel. Rocket fuel

is what would make me feel hungry again.

I'll be unconscious
long before I'm hungry.

Jeff doing okay though. The guys, the
fetus committee as a way more and,

oh, hang on, I don't want to deal with

[inaudible].

What's where the hand,

I have found my equivalent in a
mountain, this sector of Vietnam,

whatever he was saying. I'm
exactly that obnoxious. Yeah.

I've been trying to drive drunk or I
will be soon and he used definitely doing

God's work must stay relatively sober.

Must get mister party pants
drunk. This guy could probably go

[inaudible]. Yeah, yeah. Jam. Right.

I agree with it. I understand
everything you're saying.

Please explain to our house that

no place on earth I would rather
be than right here. Right now.

I feel a hundred times lucky. It
could be with all of you today. Yeah.

[inaudible] there was a minority
in New York from Brooklyn.

It was whole or then the Brooklyn.
Brooklyn. No, they have an expression.

Damn skippy.

Ooh. Damn skippy.

Okay. Maybe the entertainment
will help loosen them up.

[inaudible] translation
that the madness again.

[inaudible] a song about my cat.

If I were sober, I would tell you how
important folk dances to the Vietnamese.

I might mention how it's evolved over the
centuries as a celebration at everyday

life.

This is about this area, this problem

movement, individual style. I'd
love to tell you all about it.

[inaudible]

okay.

Unfortunately, being a good
host and being a good guest or

even more important to the Vietnamese,

which means if the chairman's
pouring, I'm drinking

my plan of attack, maybe backfired.

Read Tony off the field of battle.

That's when it happened.

They announced the poll,

Iris Mint looms. I smell my
own imminent humiliation.

Everyone must dance as
the chairman, everyone.

What kind of themes would get a man
liquored on and force them to dance

barefoot, dangerously
slapping bamboo rods,

diabolical.

Even Timothy Dalton never had to do
this. Not even George lays and be,

for God's sake, all vestiges of cool
gon death seems suddenly inviting.

Okay, that wasn't so bad. Well,

show us what you've got live.

Apparently live is the Michael
Flat where you've pulled answers

now on having fun. I liked
this. This is a good time,

but by now I'm feeling all
that liquor really feeling,

so it's time to hit the sack
in a dignified way tomorrow.

Lim says we have some place,

very important to go on a
mysterious island and how long bay?

A powerful man with unknown
motives is anxious for my arrival.

[inaudible]

okay. [inaudible]

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

I've never seen Lynn like this.

He's nervous and excited and selling me
awfully hard on this final leg of our

journey through north Vietnam. I think
he's glad to be here. Yeah. Yeah.

I think beer is perfect. Ominously
he that instructed me to wear a suit.

We've left the coast of
Vietnam on a private charter,
but whose business are we?

Government business or personal?
Yes. Like who is this man?

We're going to meet on
an island and how long?

Bay and what does he want
with me? So I take it,

we're not going to be staying
in an open air or hot.

You know what's with the dry? We're
going someplace pretty fancy. I take it,

we go into the complex, newly
opened. It's called Baden.

It does Mount Island over there.
We're meeting a friend of yours. Yeah,

he's the son.

[inaudible] talk with you
and have you know, with you,

I mean this in the nicest way possible,

but I really do feel like I'm in a bond
movie. I'm visiting doctor. No, at home.

Mr Sandra

[inaudible].

Okay, I get it.

Okay. Who

were these guys? Lynn calls them escorts,
but they feel like something else.

I mean, we need protection. I doubted.
Why are we all standing here like this?

Fucking, excuse me gentlemen. He's
like, I can get a little rope.

[inaudible]

these rocks just seemed to go on
forever. It's go on and on. All that.

The reason I was at the city
of Cleveland and problems,

we call that all the mountain on the by
the footprint of the dragon many years

ago,

daggone which was landing on his
way and now with the landing dragon,

it's a big dragon man and it
is just stunningly beautiful.

And people live out here on boats.
Yes. Is that our fishing family?

Who name all the line on this bay? Really?

It just catfish is their home too.

Yeah.

Finally, after hours is zigzagging,
Lynn calls everyone to the bell.

So you'd say, once we get
through that pass, let me know.

I'll actually get to take a look at
this hotel. Pretty excited. Yeah,

we can get into the island by this boat.

This is the moment of
truth, our main destination.

Almost almost.

Why? It's a secret layer
in a volcano. Okay. No,

it's not June one island.

I'm told it's hallowed ground once the
site of [inaudible] modest personal

vacation home, but what is it now?

Out of nowhere? Two boats have
converged on either side of us.

There were employees as are my silent
buddies in the sunglasses of Mr. Sign our

host in a very important
person. Scared boy.

There's something a little to
compulsory about this whole thing.

I trust my friend Lynn. I trust by
friendly. I trust my friend Lynn

for Dane. Tony Board a.

So far this place looks very relaxing.

MMM.

A striking tropical views.

Gentle sandy beaches.

Quiet island resort atmosphere. Nice.

What's that?

[inaudible]

why do they need Kungfu Dude's here

now granted through the centuries Chinese
martial arts moved across the border

in a Vietnam case in point come food.

Yeah.

It's been a long time
since troupes of warring.

Months of tangled
indiscriminately on public

features.

What about all these constructions?

[inaudible] what are they
building? [inaudible]

tractor beam. Giant satellite born laser.

[inaudible]

so was it reflected with time

I lived with Mr Song.

You worry that they might be opening
an FBI file on me sometime real soon.

Tell you if I saw this episode, I will.

Okay.

Move along. My karate is
no match for your Kung Fu

and your boy. Your brand's
requested at dinner time.

Something tells me they have a
strict reservations policy here.

Yeah,

sorry. Your predecessor
was late. Mr Bordain,

you will not unfortunately be
joining us. He is indisposed

finally time to meet my mysterious
host. Oh Tony, this is your place.

[inaudible] how do you do that?

[inaudible]

officially sang as the younger brother
was some kind of industrialist who placed

him in charge of the island,

but what about unofficially thanked
me for follow me. No argument here.

Wouldn't want to stumble
into the cybernetic sharks.

Okay

man, this guy has a huge step.
Okay. Valet parking, Maitre d sure,

but all these other people,
what do they do so far?

Lin is show me an amazing time,

but maybe now's a good time to
slip away quietly or Dana HQ.

HQ will come in HQ.
You'll get me out of here

too late. Everything is set in motion.

Lynn and I are seated at our host table
extensively for dinner with, believe me,

I have no idea what Mr Sang has in store.

[inaudible]

the evening kicks off with some tunes.

[inaudible]

these type of musicians were like
house band for the imperial courts.

18th Century. So be older.

It should be out at, I say
southern central. Yeah.

[inaudible]

apparently we're being treated to a
private performance. Very private.

This is a resort where
a role the other guests

[inaudible]

[inaudible] so far, Mr Sang seems
friendly enough. Thank you. Right.

My pleasure. Okay.

He goes to the same tailor as Roy
Orbison but he's being very hospitable

[inaudible] this is a big
budget production. Yeah,

and it all seems to be for me and
there seem to be a lot of twins, twins,

basil twins.

[inaudible]

I don't hate this. I definitely
got James beat on this one.

10 beautiful women dancing for me.

I can live with this.

This guy sang is all right.

Just goes to show when you assume
I do not hate my job right now.

Okay.

That's when sayings, people tell me
they're taking control of our cameras.

Sana thought.

Woo.

Okay.

It's cooking with Mr saying

[inaudible]

masterminding his own
high tech island layer.

This black clad peak shot had only one
dream as a child to start his own cooking

show. So we hijacked that
American camera crew momentarily.

Set aside world domination and now they'll
show you how to prepare a banquet fit

for an evil genius.

At this time we'd make a spring
run and the chicken salad,

hey was pretty convincing. I
guess I'll take a smoke break

so I might have, I can look like a photo.

So I'm showing you what's a midterm
quality spring? Rome cabbage,

binge shoot hawk streams and chicken eggs.

Does it make cha in rice paper?
It just take five minutes. Okay.

[inaudible] good enough for
a busy overlord on the go.

But what about some veggies?

Mr Sang [inaudible] that is passion ties
a vegetable that the secretary five oh

two is a king chicken.

I mean Chili [inaudible] when
you put this high of salad,

it's very good for Broncos.

[inaudible]

we'll also want to make
the step fries sweet.

You go saying I have to
Raul, who's gonna stop you?

Not to worry. [inaudible]
hasn't taken away.

You can deal with him later.

[inaudible] call the
flower talk. Among my mind.

This is my family business.
I learned from my family.

Well, a little sauce and Bam, Mr
Sang Squid treats are hard to refuse.

[inaudible]

now we're going to try
that. This is mid pipe,

so thank you for all your hard work

and you know how to throw a party. Yeah,

that wasn't so bad and it turns
out sang can actually cook.

Delicious. So good. Sam
told me that in dod,

these kinds of veggies born which
is offered through the pig. Wow.

We have to clean tonight. Yes.

Excellent.

And as fits a king or a resort manager
or whatever saying is the dishes keep on

coming.

Charcoal Grill, cleanse. This is great.

This is the way to live. Ever tried
to open clams with chopsticks.

Don't think Tim wants

[inaudible] Sean Connery,
not Roger Moore. By the way.

I'm so lucky to have red lights that you
know, I always say is everything here,

but what exactly

is going on here? If you
looked into the future,

could you imagine living
in this wonderful place?

[inaudible] list is pretty good when
your country man, com says sang.

The martial artists will have shows daily.

That's when I get this whole island
is the government's idea of a tourist

wonderland designed to
lure Westerners like, well,

you want me to be pampered in a week?

Creative world of the imperial
past syllabi. This is life.
