A SEA Games Deep Dive; Restaurateurs Phuong Ngo & Jerome Buzenet

Saigoneer Podcast

On this week's show, we dig deep (1:24) into the recently-concluded Southeast Asia Games. Vietnam's athletes had a stellar showing, winning the second-most medals among the competing countries, but why does football - and particularly men's football - get the vast majority of coverage and public attention? Also, what are the competition's most whimsical sports? Then, we sit down (24:05) with Phuong Nho and Jerome Buzenet, who are involved in a number of popular restaurants in Saigon - and are also behind a new sourdough-focused cafe. We talked about the exciting F&B scene in the city, as well as what drives them to create new ideas. As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter (40:39). This episode is brought to you by The Deck.
