Gordon Ramsay has made it clear that Vietnamese cuisine is on the top of his list. His love was on full display in the most recent season of Master Chef US, where he tasked the final 5 contestants to prepare a bowl of Hủ Tiếu (they did surprisingly well). So where did chef Ramsay's passion for Vietnamese food come from?
In 2011, Ramsay visited Vietnam for an episode of Gordon's Great Escape and quickly became enamored by the Vietnamese dishes with complex flavor profiles. Since the video is over 2 years old, we're sure some of you may have seen it already, but if you haven't, it's well worth a watch.
