We have these chefs pretending to know traditional vietnamese banh mi from each region. None of the examples you have shown from North to South to showcase the changes between each region are traditional or what the locals are used to. You should have filmed people who were actually born and raised there (locals. Not american-born Vietnamese with fancy restaurants who have applied their own twist/ideas to the recipes. This can be seen by the fact that not one person there could pronounce banh mi correctly. Also, was this video sponsored by Maggi sauce?

Youre not even eating authentic banh mi, from the region in Vietnam! Youre having Vietnamese America chefs, provide their interpretation, of their banh mi, from that region of Vietnam. Thats so dumb! How about actually going there and not to different Vietnamese restaurants, here in the US. I doubt those Vietnamese America chefs, have even been to Vietnam. Their interpretations, are intended for America eaters, not Vietnamese buyers. Thumbs down, from all regions, here in Vietnam!

Banh Mi traditionally does not come with mayonnaise at all and also Maggie. Maggie is freaking expensive to many of us due to importation cost. For the Mayo thing, it's freaking Vietnamese-American invention (just like the Hu tieu noodle for Pho, we use a version of hollandaise without the acid part, and stabilizer to make it last through days. Great at start but it went down terribly later when all the chefs talk about their banh Mi.

I'm commenting again after the end of the video and it just feels like going from a cheap Banh Mi to a more expensive one. So they're basically saying the south was more well of by the amount of fillings. Really? And talk about skipping steps, if you're teaching about the Banh Mi history then at least tell them you're cooking the pate. Otherwise to first timers watching it, thinks its just raw pork with liver pate.

There's so many questionable ingredients these chefs use to make their versions. Did any of the examples use pickled veges or was it grated veges? Which other herbs besides coriander (cilantro) did they use? I've never encountered head cheese in Banh Mi before. I don't think Maggi is a cultural ingredient, it's a personal preference. And can Dennis make up his mind on how to pronounce Banh?

I was born and grew up in Vietnam. These 3 kinds of sandwiches should be called Americanized Banh Mi. They should travel to Vietnam to compare the real one rather than Americanized style and calling authentic. What's funny is the one from Central but her shop's name is Saigon which is South. No one would use Maggi soy sauce without mixing like her.

As a Vietnamese, I can say that I've never ever seen any kind of banhmi like that in Vietnam (no offence, they still look delicious): / from north to south. The amazing of banhmi is that it can be made in hundreds way, so there is no northen style, southern style or any style of banhmi in Vietnam. It's very depended on who's making it. :/

Dam Viet peeps there is actually nothing that makes this a Viet Sandwich its French. you added chiles on it so that makes it Viet. they are not even native to Asia they are native to Americas. Your Ban is a french Knock off sandwich. Your Pho is chines. what is native to Viet? Rebresent your country.

Banh mi! I dream of eating this again, bought some from an old grandma around Benh Than Market, I cannot believe it only cost 30000 dong, I bought extra to bring home to the Philippines. I will go back for the culture and the people of Vietnam but the food, that is the one I fell for.
