  • Not only can Tran cook, Tran can write direct, and produce. Good job boys! I would rather watch you guys than watch the food network. I used to think that white boys can't jump or cook Vietnamese. Ha! Well, I still can't jump, but I can make my own Bo Luc Lac - Many thanks. CAB Kemah, TX

  • If you guys like Viet food watch Luke Nguyen's Vietnam on the Cooking Channel. This dude wrote some pretty amazing cookbooks too. Love his show!

  • I thought the star anise and brown sugar was too overpowering. A dash would've worked for me. The chicken strips tasted like candy. I don't know if that's what you guys intended but I like your vids overall. Keep it up.
