Bun Cha Huong Lien restaurant in the Vietnamese capital's leafy Old Quarter soared to fame after the 2016 sit-down between Obama and Bourdain for his CNN show. "I was surprised and sad when I heard about (Bourdain's) death," Nguyen Thi Nga, co-owner of Bun Cha Huong Lien restaurant told AFP. He praised our bun cha dish and its fish-sauce broth. He loved Vietnamese food," Nga said. Bourdain came to Vietnam several times throughout his life, making several TV programmes about his fascination with the country's food.
