Repeats Saturday, October 20 At 8:00 P.M.
VIETNAMESE CUISINE IN NEW ORLEANS discusses the growing popularity and acceptance of Vietnamese food in the Greater New
Orleans Area. Not only are new Vietnamese restaurants sprouting in trendy neighborhoods, but the cuisine is appearing at major
festivals and in non-Vietnamese restaurants. Local chefs are purchasing ingredients at local Vietnamese farmers markets and
incorporating Vietnamese-inspired dishes on their menus. The one-hour documentary looks at the Vietnamese community in New
Orleans, along with their origins and family traditions. Their use of backyard farming, in an effort to practice self-sustainability and
grow crops indigenous to Vietnam, is also discussed.
Among those interviewed are Ian McNulty, food writer for Gambit; Chef Brian Landry, Executive Chef of Borgne Restaurant; Chef
John Besh, owner of Restaurant August, Besh Steak, Domenica, Luke New Orleans, Luke San Antonio, La Provence, Soda Shop,
The American Sector, and Borgne; Poppy Tooker, host of “Louisiana Eats!” on WWNO radio and weekly guest on WYES’ arts and
entertainment program, “Steppin’ Out;” Ahn Joseph Cao, former Congressman for New Orleans; and Father Vien Nguyen,
Catholic Priest and member of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans.
Written and Produced by Suzanne Pfefferle. Filmed by Lenny Delbert. Narrated by Peggy Scott Laborde.
