Chapel Hill Restaurant Elements Serves Up Vietnamese Dish Made Popular by Obama and Anthony Bourdain

Posted Aug 14, 2018
Chef Michael Chuong barely looks at his marinade as he puts it together. Instead, he tells me about the regional differences of bún cha as he throws chili flakes into the bowl and continues to add more. The dish originated in his native Vietnam and was ushered into the global spotlight in 2016 when President Barack Obama sat down with Anthony Bourdain among locals in Hanoi for a meal.
